Abstract
In vitro assays for the measurement of specific IgE have been availabl e for the last 30 years. Over this time there have been significant ch anges in their technology, ranging from a long 3-day test to a short 3 -hour test and from a labor intensive test to a fully automated test. These new innovations have enabled today's in vitro assays to be far m ore efficient, reliable, and reproducible.
