The uKnow™ Peanut Molecular Allergy Test provides a level of detail previously unattainable to help diagnose peanut allergy. It’s the first and only allergy test to help assess peanut allergy at the molecular level. You may even discover that your child has no peanut allergy at all.
Assess your child’s risk of allergic reaction.
Using current allergy testing methods, doctors are looking for the body’s reaction to common substances that cause allergies—allergens. These allergens are made up of a mixture of different building blocks, or components from the whole peanut. For example, a person may react to components in the whole peanut allergen that are not likely to cause a severe allergic reaction. When testing for the whole peanut, this reaction will produce a positive result for peanut, but this may not mean that the patient is at risk of a severe allergic reaction.
The uKnow Peanut Molecular Allergy Test provides results to specific allergen components.
The uKnow Peanut Molecular Allergy Test helps identify antibodies to the components in the peanut responsible for the most severe reactions. It also identifies other components that may be less likely to cause a severe reaction. By isolating and measuring antibodies to the individual peanut components, the uKnow Peanut Molecular Allergy Test pinpoints the components responsible for allergy symptoms. The test helps determine the true risk of a severe allergic reaction—providing greater clarity for you, your doctor, and your child. Only a single laboratory blood draw is required to run the uKnow Peanut test.
