This rapid self-test from Berkeley Health offers a straightforward and accessible way to check for a common biological marker associated with allergic reactions, including those linked to hay fever, pet dander, dust mites, and food sensitivities. The test uses a small fingerprick blood sample, which is then applied to the test device to produce a result within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned with ease of use in mind, the kit includes everything needed to complete the test at home without any specialist training. It is not intended to diagnose a specific allergy, but rather to indicate whether total IgE levels are raised, which may warrant further investigation by a healthcare professional. This makes it a useful first step for anyone who suspects they may have an underlying allergic condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures of Berkeley Health Allergy IgE Rapid Self-Test Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerprick blood sample format, requiring only a small and simple sample collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid lateral flow testing technology delivers a visible result in minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, single-use device with all components supplied within the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use without laboratory equipment or technical expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-start##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Rapid lateral flow test device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSample type: Fingerprick whole blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack size: 1 test kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResult time: Approximately 10 to 15 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for adults aged 18 years and over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for individuals who suspect they may have an allergic condition and wish to check their total IgE antibody levels at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot intended for use as a standalone diagnostic tool; results should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWarnings and cautions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis test is for self-testing purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA positive result does not confirm a specific allergy; please consult your GP or an allergy specialist for further assessment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use the kit if the packaging is damaged or the expiry date has passed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children; the lancet included in the kit is sharp and should be disposed of safely after use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead all instructions included in the kit thoroughly before beginning the test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry your hands, then use the lancet provided to obtain a small fingerprick blood sample.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply the required volume of blood to the sample well on the test device as directed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait for the indicated time, typically 10 to 15 minutes, before reading your result.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterpret the result according to the guide provided in the kit and consult a healthcare professional if your result is positive or if you have any concerns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##delivery-accordion##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-end##\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berkeley Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62017681719564,"sku":"0167022","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/1046\/0991\/files\/167022.png?v=1786372871","url":"https:\/\/lloydspharmacy.com\/products\/berkeley-health-allergy-ige-rapid-self-test-kit","provider":"LloydsPharmacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
