Heska is committed to providing innovative solutions to
veterinary practitioners. We believe that worldwide, tens
of millions of animals suffer from allergies, yet only a small
fraction are ever properly diagnosed and then tested to identify
the offending allergens for treatment.
Call on the unmatched expertise of the #1 serum IgE testing
laboratory in the world. Heska has more patents in veterinary
allergy/immunology technology than any other company.
We’ve put all of our scientific expertise into our ALLERCEPT®
Allergy Assessment and Treatment Program to help you manage
your allergy cases with more confidence and convenience than
ever before.
Accurate identification of the causative allergens is crucial for effective allergen-specific immunotherapy.
ALLERCEPT® Serum IgE Test Panels use a unique, proprietary technology developed by Heska to detect ONLY
allergen-specific IgE, resulting in more accurate test results.
Serum-based allergy testing
in dogs, cats and horses for
convenient, easy in vitro testing.
— 5 Comprehensive Regional
Panels (NE, SE, NW, SW,
Tropical).
ELISA format identifying
allergen-specific IgE for
accurate, objective, reproducible
results.
— individual specific allergens
for each region, including
pollens, fungi, environmental
allergens and flea saliva.
Unique, proprietary technology
(FCeRIa) that detects only the
relevant IgE involved in allergy.
Flea saliva test incorporated in
each panel specifically measures
flea saliva-reactive IgE.
— An advanced test to detect
reactivity to the key allergens
initiating flea bite allergy.
ALLERCEPT® ALLERGY TREATMENT—MORE PRECISE. VERY SAFE.
Immunotherapy is the most effective and safest long-term management of allergies available.
Excellent efficacy—60-80% of patients improve on immunotherapy.
Due to Heska’s technology that detects only the allergen-specific IgE involved in allergy, no unnecessary
allergens are placed in the prescribed treatment sets.
Heska conducts an ALLERCEPT® Allergen Panel to identify the specific allergens
responsible for the clinical signs of allergy:
ALLERCEPT® Panels detect only allergen-specific IgE,
resulting in more accurate test results.
ALLERCEPT® Panels are customized for 5 regions
(see chart).
Once the clinical diagnosis is made, submit a
serum sample to the HESKA® Veterinary Diagnostic
Laboratories.
Within 48 hours after your sample is received,
we provide:
Easy-to-read and interpret panel results summary.
Recommendation for precise allergen-specific immunotherapy treatment.
Access to Heska’s on-staff Medical Technical Consultants to assist you with any questions or issues that may arise throughout the management of the case.
Heska uses a superior and proprietary detection reagent for measuring IgE. Heska has patent rights
for use of the high-affinity IgE receptor to measure allergen-specific IgE in the serum of both animals
and humans.
Heska’s ALLERCEPT® Panels are extremely sensitive and can detect as little as 70–140 picograms
(a picogram is one trillionth of a gram!) of allergen-specific IgE in canine serum without compromising
specificity.
Heska’s ALLERCEPT® Panels are validated for dogs, cats and horses.
Heska holds over 600 issued and pending patents worldwide, with about 400 covering our unique
allergy/immunology technology.
At least eight human pharmaceutical companies have licensed Heska’s technology to improve human
allergy products.
Heska’s scientists have published scientifi c papers in respected peer-reviewed journals and presented
papers at national and international scientifi c conferences.
