7 steps with 7DROPS – instructions for use

The 7DROPS at-home allergy test (ALL) measures the patient’s allergy sensitization status through in vitro multiplex testing. The results show the measurement of your body’s total IgE (tlgE) which indicates if an allergy is likely, possible or unlikely. The measurement of Specific IgE (sIgE) against 295 allergen extracts and molecular allergens gives you a detailed profile of the possible culprits causing allergic symptoms. However, any diagnosis positive or negative must be confirmed by consulting your physician.

The 7DROPS at-home food intolerance test (FIT) measures repeatable IgG reactivities through in vitro multiplex testing. The results show the measurement of specific IgG levels against 286 food antigens from 13 different food groups (including basic and novel foods).

The 7DROPS ALL FIT allergy & food intolerance test is a combination product. Our lab will run both the ALL allergy test and the FIT food intolerance test on your blood sample.

This is what happens to your sample once it reaches our lab up until you receive your results in your personal 7DROPS dashboard:

1. After arrival, your sample is checked if it is in good condition for processing.
2. If your sample gets the green light for processing, it is prepared and then loaded into an automated batch analyzer called MAX 45k.
3. After processing, the results of the test we just ran on your sample are loaded onto our servers.
4. Before you receive your results, they are checked and approved by a doctor. In case of a conspicuous result (risk of anaphylaxis), you are automatically contacted by a medical expert to dicuss next steps.
5. Once approved, your results appear on your personal 7DROPS dashboard for your to view and download.
6. If you have questions about your results, you can book a free orientation consultation with our medical partners from CUREX.

IgE is short for Immuno-Globulin E – a molecule class known as immunoglobulins or antibodies. In healthy individuals, IgE antibodies fight parasitic infections. In allergic individuals, IgE antibodies are misdirected and fight harmless substances such as pollen or mite particles instead, leading to an allergic reaction.

IgG is short for Immuno-Globulin G – a type of antibody representing 75% of human blood serum. In IgG testing, serum or plasma is tested for IgG antibodies instead of IgE antibodies. IgG is also called a “memory antibody” because it signifies memory through exposure to a food.

CCDs (cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants) are clinically irrelevant sugars located on allergens. They can lead to false-positive diagnostic results in allergy and food intolerance testing. One of 7DROPS’ key features is automatically blocking CCDs during the processing of samples to prevent false-positives and increase the accuracy of the results.

Note: the final diagnosis and subsequent therapy should always be made and ordered by your allergy specialist.
