Methodology
The ImmunoCAP® FEIA method uses as the solid phase a flexible, hydrophobic cellulosic polymer to which allergen has been covalently linked. The advantage of this system is that it has a very high antigen binding capacity when compared to other systems and it has minimal non-specific binding with high total IgE. Eurofins Viracor provides an optional low range calibrator at 0.1 kU/L and a 0/1 class. This test has not been cleared or approved for diagnostic use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
