Allergen, Individual-Food Sesame Seed Sesamum indicum F10

The Allergen, Individual‑Food Sesame Seed (Sesamum indicum) F10 test is an at‑home diagnostic that measures specific IgE antibodies to sesame seed to determine IgE‑mediated sensitization. A capillary (finger‑prick) or venous blood sample is collected at home by a trained phlebotomist and analysed in an accredited Dubai laboratory to provide quantitative IgE levels. Identifying sesame‑specific IgE helps confirm suspected food allergy, guide dietary avoidance, and inform need for specialist referral or supervised oral food challenge. Results are delivered confidentially through Touch Connect with clear interpretation to support clinical decision‑making in the UAE.
