Allergen, Individual-Food Tomato Tamatar (Lycopersicon Lycopresicum) F25

The Allergen, Individual-Food Tomato Tamatar (Lycopersicon Lycopresicum) F25 is a targeted home allergy test that measures tomato-specific IgE antibodies (sIgE) in a blood sample to determine IgE-mediated sensitivity to tomato. The sample is collected at home by a trained phlebotomist or via validated capillary collection and analysed using laboratory immunoassay methods to quantify sIgE and classify sensitization. This test helps identify individuals at risk of allergic reactions to tomato, enabling evidence-based dietary changes and safer food choices across Dubai and the UAE.

It is recommended for patients with suspected immediate-type reactions after ingesting tomato, recurrent urticaria linked to tomato-containing foods, or for those planning elimination or reintroduction diets. Results support clinicians and dietitians in creating personalised management plans, reducing accidental exposures, and advising on emergency precautions such as carrying antihistamines or an epinephrine auto-injector when indicated.

• Result interpretation: Negative / Borderline / Positive

• After immediate hives, swelling, or respiratory symptoms following tomato consumption
• Persistent or recurrent urticaria suspected to be food-related
• Before starting or stopping an elimination diet involving tomatoes
• When planning travel or dining out in Dubai/UAE with complex dishes
• In children or adults with unclear food-related reactions needing diagnostic clarification

• Accurate detection of IgE-mediated tomato allergy
• Enables personalised dietary guidance and safer meal planning
• Reduces risk of accidental allergic reactions and emergency visits
• Convenient at-home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Clear laboratory classification to guide follow-up with clinicians or allergists
