A blood test screening for IgE reactions to some of the most common allergens found in the UK, plus a total IgE marker. Suited to people in the UK with possible allergy symptoms wanting a broad, locally relevant panel.
2 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test screens for IgE reactions to some of the UK's most common allergens in one panel, plus a total IgE reading. As with other IgE-based allergy screens, a raised result against a given allergen is commonly used to help identify possible triggers rather than to confirm a diagnosis on its own.
Within its 19-test comparison group, the 2-marker panel matches the typical biomarker count, but at £399 the price is around 33% above the £299 group median. Among Medichecks' own five allergy screens in this catalogue, only the Allergy Screen (Inhalants and Foods) at £449 costs more; the Cereals (£229), Nuts and Seeds (£281) and Shellfish (£299) screens are all cheaper. Outside Medichecks, Check My Body Health's Food & Environmental Allergy Test covers 117 biomarkers for £159.99.
Clinical depth and documentation score well, reflecting a typical marker count and a clearly published listing. Value for money is one of the weaker scores here given the premium over the group median. Collection convenience is middling, needing a venous draw with a home nurse option. Trust signals score highly, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot rating, its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, doctor review included with every test, and a trading history since 2001.
This is a reasonable choice if you want a UK-relevant allergen panel with a doctor's comment on the result and are happy to pay above the group median for that combination.
If price matters more, Medichecks' own Allergy Screen (Cereals) at £229 or Allergy Screen (Nuts and Seeds) at £281 cost less, and Check My Body Health's Food & Environmental Allergy Test covers considerably more allergens (117) for £159.99.
The sample is a venous blood draw, taken at a Medichecks clinic, through a home nurse visit, or at another clinic offering venous collection; it is not a self-collected at-home kit. The lab tests for IgE reactions across the UK allergen panel plus total IgE. Results are typically back in around 5 days and a doctor reviews them before you get your report.
This screen checks a UK-focused allergen panel plus total IgE, with a doctor reviewing results in around 5 days. At £399 it costs 33% more than the £299 median for its comparison group, and is the second most expensive of Medichecks' five allergy screens after the Inhalants and Foods test. Cheaper, broader panels are available from other providers from £119.

Tied cheapest allergy test, aimed at skin reactions
A finger-prick blood test checking IgE antibody reactions to 49 allergens linked to skin symptoms, including dust mites, mould, latex and certain foods.
Broadest allergy panel available, but the priciest too
A large-panel blood test that screens for IgE antibody responses to 295 individual allergens, from foods and pollens to moulds, insect venoms and animal dander. Suited to people who want the broadest possible allergy screen rather than a smaller symptom-targeted panel.
Priced exactly at the group median
