They discontinued the allergy test and I no longer have access to my report. This is obviously because it was no good. Avoid this company. Probably a scam.

Don’t waste your money

Utter charlatans. Apparently I have no detectable allergy response to anything they test for. Given that I was hoping to nail down more specifically what is responsible for my very obvious hay fever (confirmed years ago by my GP) getting back this report was absolutely useless. I wish I’d paid attention to the other reviewers who had the same experience. Don’t waste your money!

Hi Liz,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. As you're aware, I have responded to you privately.

May I take this opportunity to confirm that your blood sample passed the quality control checks and was successfully analysed. The results have been verified as correct.

Whilst I appreciate your comment that your GP diagnosed hay fever many years ago; I can only confirm that IgE blood testing, or equivalent allergy tests, can give an indication of possible allergy at the current time. The clinician then uses these results - along with findings from an holistic assessment - to diagnose and treat.

There are many factors that potentially can be responsible for symptoms of hay fever, including non-allergic rhinitis.

This link might help explain a set of negative results:

Of course, your symptoms are very real and you should always seek a consultation with your GP if they are causing you any concern.

You will be contacted again soon, Liz. Thank you again for your review, please be assured that it has been passed on to my team, who take all comments seriously.

Best wishes,
the klarify team.

Allergy test does not work

Allergy test does not work

I took the £150 allergy blood test but it failed to identify allergens that I know I have serious reactions to.
When I complained I was told that I may be allergic to things that they test for without it showing in the results.
“ We cannot diagnose any sort of previous, existing or future allergy - our test is a step toward assisting a possible diagnosis only, which can only be made by an appropriate healthcare professional. “
I have been prescribed to carry an epipen due to my severe reaction and this test basically said it doesn’t exist.
This test is a complete waste of money and potentially dangerous as it may give a false sense of security.
When I asked for a refund they refused

Their reply suggests that the results of the test would be useful to a doctor but this just isn’t true as a negative result for a known problem is no use at all

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your feedback; which has been taken very seriously by the klarify team.

We advise that the klarify Home Allergy Test results are not in themselves a diagnosis, because they need careful interpretation by a doctor alongside your symptoms and medical history before concluding a diagnosis. Our Test is a step toward assisting a possible diagnosis only, which can only be made by an appropriate healthcare professional.

The klarify team strive at all times to ensure a positive customer experience. We have endeavoured to explain the science behind your results privately, of course, and we're sorry that you still have reservations. As already explained to you, our Test detects levels of IgE in a blood sample, which will help to identify if any allergens on our array panel are possible culprits for an individual's symptoms. IgE has to be present in the blood for this identification.

We are here to help with any questions, and you can contact us via:

Personal review of Klarify Allergy test

I was lucky enough to be sent a Klarify:Me test to try for free so I thought I would take the opportunity to share my experience with them.

I have suffered with allergy symptoms for some time, and though I had a skin scratch test, it only tested the 15 most common allergens and showed only one positive reaction. So I was eager to try a more thorough test. I felt pretty confident with how the test works, as I had researched igE blood testing and know that it's a great way to test for allergies.

The kit arrived in good time, just 2 days after the order was placed. It arrives in a small box that fits conveniently through the letter box, so need to worry about missing the delivery.

The box looks professional and though small, it has everything you need to take your allergy test. On opening you'll see a registration card with a unique code. (After posting, you must register the test to your name)

The instruction booklet is very good, with clear and concise numbered instructions that take you through the steps easily. I had no issues in understanding what I needed to do at all. It gives great tips on preparing to take the sample.

Neatly packed in the box is a small tube, with a smaller tube inside it (used to collect the sample), two lancets (used to poke your finger), sterile wipes, and plasters.

The tips I mentioned earlier are quite important in order to easily collect a sample. Follow them! Drink 1/2 litre of water 30 minutes before and wash hands in warm water. Hands MUST be warm. This will make a difference. I had mine in my pockets before I washed them.

Using the lancets is surprisingly easy. I barely felt a thing. They ask you fill the sample tube to a line so that they have a sufficient amount to test. It's not much, about 6 good drops. Having followed their advice, it was pretty easy to fill. I did have to use the second lancet for the final two drops. I used another finger and had no issues.

The sample is then secured and posted in a secure envelope that they provide. It was surprisingly a very simple process, made so much easier by their easy to read and follow instructions. My fingers felt a little bruised after I had completed the process but nothing that bothered me.

I received the results a few weeks later. They state 3 weeks on average, but it can be sooner or a little longer. I didn't receive an email to say the results were ready, but Klarify did contact me to see if I needed any help with the results, apologised they hadn't been emailed and told me they were available to view in my account.

The results can be accessed in your online account on the Klarify website. I found them easy to read and decipher. They list the results of every one of the 290 odd allergens that they test you for, which I feel is very thorough. My results reinforced what I already suspected. So now I can show these results to my doctor and it will be helpful in moving forward with my treatment.

Customer service wise, I feel like the person I dealt with at Klarify was very helpful and attentive. They were quick to respond to concerns or queries (through email or social media) and I feel confident if I had experienced any trouble with the test, they would have addressed it straight away.

All in all I was impressed with both the test, the company and their professionalism. I would definitely recommend them.

Do not use this company

Do not use this company. I got a test done for my mother and everything came negative on all 270, while we know this isn't true. Don't even think they tested. Please BEWARE and don't expect True results! Better to save your money!!

Good morning Mr Singh,

Thank you for your review.

I am very sorry to learn of your reservations with regard to the results of your mother's Home Allergy Test; we take all of our customers' feedback very seriously and I have passed on your concerns to my team. I have also initiated an investigation into the results by the lab and I will message you privately about this.

I can assure you that the blood sample passed all quality control checks and was successfully analysed. For your information, here is a link which might help explain the meaning of a set of negative results, which I hope you will find useful:

https://bit.ly/3mqLmUu

We stand by the sophisticated science behind our Home Allergy Test and I would also like to assure you of its accuracy. The sensitivity of our Home Allergy test is qualified by a ‘limit of detection,’ which means the lowest levels of allergens that the test needs to measure and detect allergens. This has been determined in accordance with CLSI guideline EP17-A (Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures Approved Guidelines) for representative allergen components and is below 0.3 kU/L for all allergen components and all allergen extracts.

This means to the range all the way down to 0.3 kU/L, the method will be able to detect a positive sample. For negative results below 0.3 kU/L, sensitisation is unlikely but cannot be ruled out for some allergens.

Again, my apologies that you have cause to doubt the results of your Mother's Home Allergy Test - we are here to help and will endeavour to investigate. In the meantime, please do ensure the advice of a GP is sought, should you be concerned about any symptoms at all.

Best wishes,
Helen, klarify

I was surprised

I was surprised by the accuracy of the results - picked up everything I knew about and some things I had forgotten. The process was easy and efficient - no problems there. There was some information missing on the report (i.e. a glossary of allergens) but the support team - particularly Helen - went over and above rectifying this - and I got the information I needed.

This whole experience was a disaster

This whole experience was a disaster. They send you a blood testing kit - which leaves you with bruised and wounded fingers because you simply cannot produce the large amount of blood needed! Then I sent off the test and 4 weeks later, I had received nothing. They had lost the sample!

I asked for my money back - this whole experience is a nonsense and totally worthless. They didn't seem to know - when sending the blood sample to a laboratory in AUSTRIA - that the samples needed to be with the laboratory within 48 hours!

Dear Joanne,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review; all feedback from our customers is appreciated and taken seriously and I shall pass on your thoughts to my team.

Our Home Allergy Test is a first step to finding out if your symptoms might be caused by an allergy. Blood samples travel in controlled conditions directly from the UK to our accredited partner lab in Austria. The samples are tested for specific IgE; using the sophisticated and innovative technology ALEX - Allergy Explorer, in order to provide extensive multiplex testing of IgE levels to 290+ different allergens.

The blood samples remain viable for up to 18 days.

Postal issues occasionally occur and are, unfortunately, beyond our control. However, we always aim to put things right and will offer customers a replacement Home Allergy Test.

Here is a link to the FAQs on the klarify website, which may help to understand further the processes and science behind the klarify.me Home Allergy Test:

This is an utter waste

This is an utter waste. I have severe tree allergies, and am allergic to dogs and wool. I wanted to get a test to confirm my allergies, but this test came back with zero sensitives to ANYTHING. I am going to get a proper scratch test now, and you should too. Don't waste your money on this

Dear Ralph,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I’m very sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied with your results.
I can only assure you that your Home Allergy Test blood sample passed all quality control checks prior to analysis and that our partner lab reverified your results once they were made aware of your disappointment.
Please be aware that a set of negative results are not ‘blank’; they are an indication that the symptoms you have are possibly due to other factors not covered by our Home Allergy Test. For example, our test does not include testing against intolerances, non-allergic rhinitis and there are other allergens that aren’t currently included in the test.
To further reassure you, the science behind the specific IgE test has been published in several peer reviewed articles that you can read here: https://bit.ly/3gbwQMG
As always, the team at klarify are here to help and support in any way we can. We would be pleased to be able to offer you a comparative report should you decide to undertake further allergy testing; just contact support-uk@klarify.me

I have not received my results back yet…

I have not received my results back yet my first kit got lost and now it seems my second kit may also have got lost. However I am still hopeful and the Klarify team have been so lovely and attentive always answering my emails and apologising for the delay and sending out new test kits free of charge. Not many companys are that courtious and good with communication and it is appreciated. Fingers crossed I get my results one day :) I blame the post! Lol

Didn’t detect my serious allergies I have confirmed… all negative

I’ve had a lot of experience with this company. Firstly, the test Id thingy didn’t work which we fixed and then they failed to test my blood in time, so they had to send me a new test which was fine. I was happy with this. I did the new test, just got my results and it’s all NEGATIVE. Which is super strange as I’ve got at least 3 serious allergies which have been confirmed by serve side effects and blood tests. I’m allergic to milk really badly and get awful hay fever and both of those were negative which is very surprising… probably because they didn’t test my blood. Honestly, this test hasn’t answered any questions I had about myself its just been a waste of £149. Ideally I’d like my money back so I can find a testing company that will give me insight into my allergies because clearly this one cannot do this. I’m massively disappointed and annoyed.

Hi India. I'm very sorry that you are unimpressed with your experience. There have been examples of delivery delays with the Royal Mail, which is out of our control and we did our utmost to remedy this for you. As soon as samples are received by the lab, they go through a thorough quality check and are analysed within days. As we discussed privately, while we have many allergens in our allergen panel, any symptoms experienced may be due to other factors not included by our Home Allergy Test. For example, our test does not include testing against intolerances, non-allergic rhinitis and there are other allergens that aren't currently included in the test. Without seeing the results of any previous testing, we are not able to investigate this further, but we would be happy to do so should you choose to send us this information. If you are ever worried about your symptoms, please do get in touch with your GP or local pharmacist for advice. Best wishes, the klarify team

Joke of a test

They either did not process my blood or the test is a scam. I know I am allergic to dust and intolerant to certain foods, yet tge test showed i have no allergies and intoleraces whatsoever.
Please save your money and do a test from a reputable company.
What a joke of a test.
I will see what authority I can report these scammers at and request my money back. They are not getting away with it. This is called theft.

Hey Roxana,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, please be assured we take your complaint very seriously.
I have contacted you directly to discuss this more privately but please be assured your sample was tested successfully in our partner lab and we are a reputable company.
As I mentioned in our email communication, The Home Allergy Test is based upon specific IgE levels in your blood and so will only test for Type 1 allergy and not wider intolerances.
Our compliance manager is dealing with your complaint and I hope we can resolve this situation for you quickly.

More than disappointed with service

More than disappointed with service. Took me four weeks to tell me I got no allergies. Which I've got send them proofs from Gp allergy and other private company results. But they told me that private company test isn't accurate. Asked for refund or retake test, but got no response to that.

Hi Sarunas,
I am really very sorry you are disappointed with our service. I can see you received your results within 8 days of posting your sample to us, however I know private discussions around your results have been ongoing with our Compliance manager.
I understand your results were revalidated by our partner lab and deemed to be valid. I hope the ongoing private discussions around your results can reassure you going forward.

Great customer service and brilliant product.

I had a fantastic experience with Klarify.me. The allergy test kit came swiftly and the instructions were simple and straightforward. The communication was excellent and I had any questions answered quickly.

It was great to not only confirm my hayfever but also to discover exactly what type of pollen triggers my reactions. I would certainly recommend the company and the test kit to anyone who wants to confidently pinpoint the cause of an allergic reaction.

Great customer service and brilliant product.

Thoroughly enjoyed the klarify me test…

Thoroughly enjoyed the klarify me test and exceptional customer service throughout. I knew I had bad hayfever but I didn't know what caused it. Now I know I have a very high sensitivity to grass and high sensitivity to tree pollen. I also thought I had an allergy to some fruits like apples and it came back I was sensitive! I also found other surprising results like hazle nuts which I didn't know I was sensitive too. In terms of taking the test the box has easy instructions to follow and is simple. I would recommend to take your time setting up as initially I didn't warm my finger up that much on the first try and struggled to get much blood to fill the tube. The second time I ran my finger under warm water for 5 minutes and that did the trick! It was then a simple job to post my sample and a week or so later I got my results. Great experience!

Very positive experience throughout

Very positive experience throughout the whole process. The test came packaged with detailed, helpful instructions mwhich made taking the sample straightforward and stress free. Once I had posted the sample, I received my results in a timely manner and was kept updated by Klarify's professional and friendly customer service. I didn't expect that I had any allergies and my results confirmed this, but I was interested to see if I was sensitised to anything I wasn't aware of. In total, a very pleasant experience and I would recommend the Home Allergy Test to anyone who is curious to find out more about what allergies they are sensitised to.
