Siemens Healthineers 3gAllergy assay

Siemens Healthineers has expanded its 3gAllergy assay menu with nine additional component allergens, including six targeting peanuts. Also now available are components derived from house dust mites and wheat. Component-level insights empower clinicians to distinguish between high-risk sensitisations and more benign exposures, ultimately helping to guide more personalised and informed patient care. These additions bring the total allergen count to over 500 available on the company’s IMMULITE 2000 XPi Immunoassay System.

While standard allergy tests confirm the presence of an allergy, component-level insights support physicians in developing more personalised allergy management strategies. This approach helps improve quality of life by minimising potentially unnecessary restrictions. For example, instead of avoiding peanuts entirely, individuals living with allergies can make more precise choices relative to their specific risks of an adverse outcome.

The 3gAllergy assay is an allergen-specific IgE test that aids physicians in identifying, monitoring and managing patients with allergic diseases. The nine latest component allergens added to the 3gAllergy menu are CE marked and now widely available.
