The Test Grade. The Reason Behind It.

Potentially useful for the right buyer, with meaningful evidence, coverage, transparency, access, cost, terms, or privacy tradeoffs to review.

A lower grade does not mean a panel is a bad personal fit. Your Fit Score can be higher when its purpose, price, sample, access, or support matches what you need.

The full breakdown

Eight Dimensions.
One Named Result.

Open any row for the reasoning and evidence behind the named result.

The exact offer page partly supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Panel 'measures your immune system's IgE antibody response'; assay method (e.g. ImmunoCAP) not named. Limitation: Exact assay method unnamed. Reopen condition: First-party naming of assay method.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: 'What's this test for?' section names target symptoms and trigger foods for this exact panel.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Exact named allergens with ImmunoCAP-style codes.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: Per-allergen normal ranges, plain-language explanations, sample result thresholds (0.35 kU/L), trends feature.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Price displayed twice; 'Prescription & all lab fees included'; 'No hidden fees'. Performing lab name and assay method not disclosed. Limitation: Lab name/method unnamed. Reopen condition: Named performing lab and method. The source map preserves the exact offer page, price capture, and provider terms used for this assessment.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: In-person lab visit at 4,000 Quest/LabCorp locations; HSA/FSA accepted; order cancellable before sample collection. Limitation: No named state availability list. Reopen condition: State-by-state testing availability list.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Exact price shown; money-back guarantee for first-time customers with normal results (STD/Sickle Cell/gift excluded); no-questions-asked refunds. Limitation: Full guarantee terms linked externally. Reopen condition: First-party full terms text. Exact USD price evidence is bound separately to the price source for this offer; HSA/FSA eligibility remains not-confirmed where the source does not name the exact offer.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: 'We don't sell or share your data.' Full privacy policy page not reviewed this pass. Limitation: Privacy policy page unfetched. Reopen condition: Privacy policy page review. Provider privacy evidence is applied only as provider-wide evidence and retains the published sharing and retention limitations.

The balance

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Includes four named shellfish-specific IgE measurements: clam, crab, lobster, and shrimp.
  • The listed price is $193.
  • Available to order online for collection at a participating Quest laboratory.

  • Results are delivered digitally with report context documented for this exact offer.
  • The privacy notice allows account and data deletion requests, subject to regulatory, compliance, legal, and business retention requirements.

Watch-outs

  • A positive specific-IgE result indicates sensitization, not necessarily a symptomatic shellfish allergy. Diagnosis requires clinical evaluation.
  • Some non-IgE food reactions are not established by this panel.
  • Laboratory testing is unavailable in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Product and collection-site availability can be narrower.
  • Complete results are listed within 1 business day. Confirm current timing if the result date matters.
  • No specific fasting or preparation requirement is stated, so confirm instructions before collection.
  • Evidence needed for a full quality score, including assay validation and actual report details, has not been fully assessed.
  • HSA and FSA card acceptance is documented, but eligibility or reimbursement for this exact offer is not confirmed.
  • Refunds are permitted only before specimen submission and are unavailable after 21 days from payment. The 90-day money-back guarantee has first-customer, result, and test-category conditions.
  • The privacy notice permits defined laboratory and service-provider disclosures, deidentified research use with an opt-out, and third-party advertising unless the user opts out. No fixed retention period is published.
