94593-1

LOINC code 94593-1 identifies "Multiplex allergen panel - Serum or Plasma". 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.

This code measures Multiplex allergen panel in Ser/Plas. It belongs to the PANEL.ALLERGY class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
