LOINC long common name : Multiplex allergen panel - Serum or Plasma;
LOINC short name : Multiplex Allergy Pnl SerPl;
LOINC description : This panel code contains results for a multiplex allergen assay for the detection
and quantification of multiple allergies in a single assay. Child elements for this
panel are not listed since results will vary, depending on the assay used. This term
was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's assay, ALEX Allergy Explorer2,
a quantitative in vitro diagnostic test for the measurement of allergen specific IgE
(sIgE) and a semi-quantitative in vitro diagnostic test for the measurement of total
IgE (tIgE) in human serum or non-EDTA plasma. Similar multiplex allergen assays, such
as the Immuno Solid-phase Allergen Chip (ISAC) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Phadia,
Sweden), can also be ordered and reported (overall study report) using this LOINC
code. Both the ALEX Allergy Explorer and ISAC assays test for over 100 different allergens.
LOINC codes specific for each allergen can be used to report the separate results
provided within the multiplex allergen report.;
