Allergy Diagnostics

Accurate allergen detection is the foundation of confident treatment decisions — and not all allergy testing platforms are built equal. Whether you're managing a high-throughput hospital lab or a specialized diagnostic center, selecting the right tools can radically impact clinical clarity and operational efficiency.

But which platform fits best: single-plex or multiplex?

The Limitations of Traditional Allergy Testing

Many legacy assays still suffer from:

Biotin interference, which may result in falsely low IgE values
CCD interference, triggering false positives and misinterpretations
Limited throughput or inflexible assay menus

These issues highlight the importance of moving toward a modern allergy diagnostic solution that minimizes interference and ensures consistent, trustworthy results.

The Single-Plex Solution: NOVEOS flex by Hycor

The NOVEOS flex system brings precision-focused single-plex allergy diagnostics to labs that demand high specificity and reliability.

Key Advantages:

Minimal interference from biotin and CCDs
Microparticle technology enhances sensitivity and accuracy
Low sample volume — ideal for pediatric and low-volume applications

It’s built for labs that prioritize precision over panel depth, with each allergen individually quantified for unmatched clarity.

The Multiplex Solution: Sugentech Allergy Solutions

For labs seeking comprehensive, panel-based testing, Sugentech delivers a powerful lineup of multiplex allergy testing kits and automated systems that redefine throughput and flexibility.

Why Choose Sugentech:

Detect up to 120 allergens in a single strip
Compatible with both IgE and IgG test formats
Requires as little as 50μL per test
Powered by fully automated analyzers for hospitals and medium-volume labs

Sugentech’s SGTi Allergy Screen, SGTi Allergy Screen Plus, and SGTi Food Check IgG offer a scalable platform for both acute allergy diagnosis and food intolerance testing. These kits are seamlessly integrated with the S-Blot 2, S-Blot 2 Easy Plus and S-Blot 3 Plus, delivering a complete allergy immunoblot testing solution for labs of any size.

Which Platform Is Right for You?

Choose NOVEOS flex if your workflow requires precise, isolated allergen quantification — especially in complex cases where interference must be minimized.
Choose Sugentech if your lab needs efficient multiplex screening, pediatric-friendly sample volumes, and automated allergy analyzers that support routine and extended testing menus.

You Don’t Have to Pick One — Use Both.

Many labs today use NOVEOS flex and Sugentech side-by-side — leveraging the specificity of single-plex with the power of multiplex to create a hybrid workflow. Together, they offer unmatched flexibility, accuracy, and scalability in allergy diagnostics.

Upgrade your lab with best-in-class allergy testing technology — from precision single-plex to scalable multiplex. Whether it's Hycor or Sugentech, you're covered.
