ASSESSES 190 FOODS Includes a wide range of foods, common in the Western, Asian, and Mediterranean diets. We have added a hemp marker because it is very common now as a food source or as medical CBD. Test involves dried blood spot samples.

SUPERIOR SENSITIVITY AND ACCURACY. GPL’s xMAP® immunoassay with fluorescence readout has proven to be even more sensitive than ELISA tests. The IgG Food MAP test detects all food antibodies with greater precision than ELISA tests thanks to the superior technology GPL developed for the test.

GREATER RELIABILITY OF RESULTS In the multiplexed bead-based immunoassay, food antigenic proteins are first covalently bound to beads. The beads are mixed with the patient’s sample where bead-bound antigens capture the specific IgG antibodies present in the sample. The food-specific IgG antibody level of each sample is detected with a fluorescent-labelled antibody against IgG. Every reaction with a patient sample also contains control beads to ensure accurate results. The fluorescent signal is measured using an xMAP® analyzer.

The amount of food-specific antibodies detected per allergen-specific bead is directly proportional to the fluorescent signals. The higher the fluorescence, the more specific IgG antibodies are present in the sample. Once test results are available for review, GPL's Quality Assurance (QA) team carefully verifies that quality control measures are within instrument and assay specifications.
