P88-DIY Dietary Antigen Test collection instructions by Precision Point Diagnostics

The P88-DIY Dietary Antigen Test is the only report to combine IgE, IgG, IgG4, and complement (C3d) reactions to 88 foods all with the convenience of a finger stick but better! Traditional finger sticks typically have you stick your finger, and then collect on a card or piece of paper. While this is a start, there is not nearly enough blood extracted to run tests with many markers.

The P88-DIY looks at 4 ways the body reacts to 88 foods, which means enough samples must be obtained to run 352 independent tests. Unlike traditional fingerstick, Precision Point Diagnostics has developed a specific pain-free process, making this test simple for everyone, even small children. The tip uses an “assisted” process to extract more blood.

The tip functions like a sponge on the end of a pipette. Using these two concepts together, blood is actively soaked up from a very tiny stick (much smaller than traditional finger sticks), and the rest of the device acts like a pipette as the bulb is released, pulling more blood into the sponge. This radical new technology offers a pain-free way to collect enough specimen to run over 350 reactions to foods. Additional benefits include stability that is far greater than your average “wet” specimen. In fact, the specimen is stable for more than 20 days.

The kits are small, and light, making shipping easier, and your patients can do it themselves, eliminating the need for a phlebotomist. This technique helps patients to have more control of their health by eliminating many of the barriers that blood tests create. We are beyond excited to offer this groundbreaking technology.
