Making allergy testing routine
Consolidate your specialty, allergy, and general testing with one of the industry’s most reliable solutions
The prevalence of allergic diseases has continued to increase in the industrialized world for more than 50 years and worldwide sensitization rates to one or more common allergens among school children are approaching 40–50%.1 A clinical history of skin, gastrointestinal, or respiratory symptoms suggestive of allergy often leads to allergen-specific IgE testing.
The IMMULITE® 2000/2000XPi 3gAllergy™ Specific IgE assay helps to enhance patient care with reliable results from a simple blood test that uses quality extracts thoroughly evaluated for potency and allergenic composition.
With the IMMULITE 2000/2000XPi Immunoassay System, scaling your allergy and specialty test offerings feels routine.
3gAllergy Specific IgE assay components
IMMULITE Allergy Wedge
- Specific allergens and mixed allergen panels: When an allergic patient is tested, a reactive result may indicate a response to a specific allergen or a mix of allergens. Specific allergens and mixed allergen panels require the Universal Kit.
- Universal Kit: All specific allergens and mixed allergen panels run with the Universal Kit to provide a result from the patient sample. One master curve applies to all specific allergens and mixed allergen panels.
Increase confidence in allergy results
The 3gAllergy Specific IgE assay uses third-generation chemiluminescent technology and proprietary liquid allergens that preserve their native conformational structure, maximizing binding and resulting in standardized, quantifiable results for informed decision making.
3gAllergy Specific IgE assay sequence
Serum and liquid-specific allergens incubate with anti-ligand-coated polystyrene bead.
Ligand-labeled liquid allergens bind to serum IgE antibodies and to the anti-ligand-coated bead.
Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated monoclonal anti-IgE is added and binds to serum IgE.
A chemiluminescent substrate is added, and light is emitted to provide a quantitative IgE result.
Improve operational efficiency
One of the largest reference labs in Latin America is making allergy testing routine with the IMMULITE 2000 XPi Immunoassay System
"Our technicians love the IMMULITE 2000 XPi Systems. The systems are easy to operate, easy to maintain, and require minimal sample reprocessing.”

Each year in June, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) raises awareness about allergic diseases and their impact through the World Allergy Week initiative. We are committed to the care of allergic patients and WAO’s initiative to raise awareness by providing a variety of resources to help keep you informed of the latest topics in allergy diagnosis and testing.
