Kenota System revolutionizes the allergy testing experience for patients and clinicians. It puts lab-quality IgE testing capability directly into allergists’ offices, giving them additional information they can use to quickly and accurately diagnose allergies in a single visit.

Allergy testing is crucial

In the U.S. alone, more than 32 million people suffer from food allergies — a number that’s only growing. Many allergies are life threatening, and there is no cure. Testing is crucial to determine their presence, severity and treatment. But until now, the available testing options have had drawbacks for both patients and clinicians.
