The Allergy Complete – 295 Allergen Panel is the UK’s most comprehensive allergy blood test, designed to provide an in-depth assessment of allergic sensitisation across a wide range of environmental and food-related allergens.
Allergies affect approximately one in four people in the general population, yet many individuals live with ongoing symptoms without identifying the underlying triggers. This can lead to persistent discomfort, reduced quality of life, unnecessary dietary restrictions, or progression into more complex allergic conditions.
This advanced test analyses responses to a broad spectrum of allergen sources, including molecular allergens. Molecular allergy testing allows for a more precise understanding of allergic cross-reactions, helping to distinguish between genuine allergies and cross-reactive responses. This level of insight supports more accurate risk assessment, particularly in relation to food allergies, and enables tailored dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
Allergic conditions are commonly underestimated, with many people tolerating ongoing symptoms without realising the long-term impact on their health. Untreated or poorly managed allergies can contribute to complications such as chronic hay fever, allergic asthma, skin flare-ups, and persistent inflammation.
Identifying the exact cause of allergic reactions is essential, particularly when symptoms are ongoing, seasonal, or triggered by multiple factors. Without accurate testing, individuals may unnecessarily avoid certain foods or environments, or fail to address the true underlying trigger.
This test measures IgE-mediated allergic responses, which are responsible for immediate-type allergic reactions. These reactions can affect the respiratory system, skin, digestive system, and overall wellbeing. By contrast, food intolerances are typically related to digestive difficulty and are not mediated by IgE. Distinguishing between allergy and intolerance is essential for safe and appropriate management.
The inclusion of molecular allergen testing allows for a deeper understanding of cross-reactivity, helping to assess whether reactions are likely to be mild, severe, or associated with a higher risk of systemic reactions. This supports more confident dietary decisions, symptom control, and long-term allergy management.
Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
A common allergic condition causing sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and sinus discomfort, often triggered by pollen, dust mites, or environmental allergens.
Allergic Asthma
A form of asthma triggered by allergens, leading to wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing.
Food Allergy
An immune-mediated reaction to specific foods that can cause symptoms ranging from mild oral reactions to severe systemic responses.
Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
A chronic inflammatory skin condition that may be aggravated by environmental or food allergens.
Insect Venom Allergy
An allergic reaction to insect stings or bites, which may cause local swelling or more severe systemic reactions in sensitised individuals.
- Identify triggers of persistent or unexplained allergic symptoms
- Assess risk of food-related allergic reactions
- Investigate complex or multiple allergies
- Support long-term allergy management

How accurate are home finger-prick tests compared to clinic tests?
Our home finger-prick tests use the same accredited laboratories as our clinic tests. While clinic tests allow for more comprehensive panels, home tests are highly accurate for the parameters they measure.
Do I need a GP referral for a blood test?
No, you don’t need a GP referral. You can book directly with us for any blood test. We are a private clinic offering direct access to comprehensive blood testing.
How old do I have to be to have a blood test?
We will only draw blood from those aged 16 and above due to legal requirements.
How long does it take for the blood test results to come?
If you have used our clinic to complete a blood test, we send off all samples the same day to the lab to be processed. If you have used a home test kit, then once your sample has been sent off the lab will analyse your sample. Results are usually received within 72 hours.
How do I perform the home finger-prick test?
Your home blood test kit will contain easy-to-follow instructions on how to take your own finger blood sample. If you have any concerns or questions prior to using the kit, please contact our phlebotomists who will be happy to assist.
How do I prepare for a blood test?
There is no preparation required prior to taking any of the blood tests. Please simply remember to stay hydrated prior to your appointment. This is to help your veins dilate better to enable a quick and efficient blood sample to be taken and reduce the risks of feeling faint following your blood test.
Please inform the phlebotomist before your test if you are currently taking any blood thinning medication.
Should I fast before my blood test?
Fasting is not required for most blood tests. However, if your profile includes cholesterol tests and you’ve previously had high levels, consider fasting for 8 hours beforehand. While not essential, fasting can provide more accurate results.
Note: Fasting means abstaining from any food and drink, except for water.
