ALEX allergy test in London
The ALEX3 allergy test at Medical Express Clinic costs £413.75 and screens sensitivity to 290+ allergens from one blood sample.
ALEX3 covers whole extracts and molecular allergen components across foods (nuts, shellfish, milk, egg, wheat, fruit), tree and grass pollens, cat and dog dander, moulds, house dust mites and insect venoms.
Results typically arrive within five working days with a comprehensive written report.
ALEX3 is not affected by antihistamines, so it is the better choice when you cannot pause your tablets or when your symptoms overlap.
You can book ALEX3 directly online or by calling 0207 499 1991, and the blood sample is taken at 117a Harley Street, London.
What the ALEX3 allergy test covers
From one blood sample, ALEX3 screens sensitivity to 290+ allergens across whole extracts and molecular allergen components. It covers foods (nuts, shellfish, milk, egg, wheat, fruit), tree and grass pollens, cat and dog dander, moulds, house dust mites and insect venoms.
It is particularly helpful when symptoms overlap or when you cannot stop taking antihistamines. Results typically arrive within five working days with a comprehensive written report. ALEX3 is not a same-day test.
Understanding an ALEX3 result
A raised skin prick or blood IgE result shows sensitisation rather than a confirmed clinical allergy. Dr Pereira interprets every positive finding against your actual symptoms and reaction history before recommending avoidance or treatment.
If you want the result reviewed, bring it to a £250 consultation. Dr Pereira interprets it against your symptoms and advises whether any further testing, medication or desensitisation is appropriate.
ALEX3, skin prick test or a targeted panel?
Choose ALEX3 when you have several possible triggers or cannot stop antihistamines. Choose a skin prick allergy test (£450, including the consultation) when you can pause antihistamines for 72 hours and want results in 15 to 20 minutes.
When your history already points to one group of triggers, a targeted IgE blood panel taken during a consultation is often more focused than a 290-allergen screen. The panels and their prices are on our private allergy testing in London page.
