The Allergy Xplorer3 (ALEX3) is a quantitative test for the measurement of allergen specific IgE (sIgE) to 300 allergens and a quantitative (at 2 – 1,000 kU/L) or semi-quantitative (at 1,001 – 2,500 kU/L) test for the measurement of total IgE (tIgE) in human serum, heparin plasma, and sodium citrate plasma. Health Canada Licensed. Available in Canada Only.
The ALEX Evolution:
The ALEX³ is the third iteration of the Allergy Xplorer and features a comprehensive panel of 300 allergens, including high-relevance allergen sources and 85 allergen families. It contains 218 molecular allergens, 107 of which are unique to the test - and features the widest range of molecular allergens on the market! The ALEX3 is available in a 20-array (catalog 87-03-2001-01) or 50-array (catalog 87-03-5001-01) kit.
ALEX3 Features:
218 molecular allergens
82 extracts
145 allergen sources
Quantitative results for sIgE and tIgE
Unique Benefits:
Complete sensitization profile in one assay run
Identification of co- & cross-sensitizations
Elimination of irrelevant antibodies (false-positive results) due to CCD blocking
The 20-test kit is intended for manual processing with the ImageXplorer instrument. To use with the automated MAX 9K instrument, washing solution and stop solution must be ordered separately. The 50-test kit is intended for automated processing with either the MAX 9K or 45K instrument only and should not be used with the ImageXplorer instrument.
Please note: For US customers, see ALEX³ (50-test) 87-03-5001-02 available for Research Use Only in the United States.

1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
In a head-to-head comparison of FDA-cleared assays and a novel ALPCO method, investigators observed wide variability in specificity and false-positive rates across platforms, raising important questions about standardization and clinical interpretation.
July 22, 2025 – Salem, NH – NuvinkaDx, a leading innovator in diagnostic solutions, today announced two significant product and regulatory milestones from its operating companies, GeneProof and ALPCO.
