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.
