Limitations
This test is designed to quantify specific IgE levels in serum and does not diagnose allergies on its own; clinical correlation with patient symptoms and history is necessary. Results may be influenced by the specimen's stability, storage conditions, and freeze-thaw cycles. It may not detect all allergenic components or cross-reactivities, which could complicate a comprehensive allergy assessment.
