Sole
Use
The Sole test measures the levels of specific IgE antibodies in the serum to identify allergic sensitizations. It aids in the diagnosis of allergic diseases and can be used to evaluate the severity of the allergic response. This information assists healthcare providers in determining appropriate treatment plans for patients with allergies.
Special Instructions
The test is developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp. The test is designed for clinical purposes and has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. Turnaround time for results is typically 3-5 days from specimen pickup. Use a serum specimen collected in a red-top or gel-barrier tube. Ensure stability by storing at room temperature or refrigerating, with a maximum frozen stability of 3 months and up to three freeze/thaw cycles allowed.
Limitations
This test should not be used as the sole criterion for diagnosis or therapy decisions. Variability in IgE measurements may occur due to various factors, including interfering substances in the serum. Results should be interpreted in the context of the clinical picture. As the test is not FDA-cleared, it should not replace approved methods in critical diagnostic situations.
