96 General Food Sensitivity Panel (IgG)

The 96 Vegetarian Food Panel: IgG analyzes specific IgG antibodies to 96 foods and spices commonly found in vegetarian diets.

Product Introduction :

Our 96-Food General Panel is a quantitative ELISA anaIysis of specific IgG and IgA antibodies to 96 common foods and spices.

Specimens are tested in duplicate on ELISA platform. We follow a diligent process to extract the key component from each analyte to ensure the antibody present in the patients’ serum will bind to it, and validate with positive and negative controls. The IgG and/or IgA antibodies, once bound to antigen, are detected through spectrophotometric analysis wherein the values are directly proportional to the concentration of the analytes in the sample.
