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.
