Orders are handled confidentially: your details stay private and results are released through a secure portal. Always confirm current preparation steps, hours, and any fees directly with the collection lab.
What it measures
- Specific IgE to American cockroach — Measures the amount of allergy-related antibody in your blood that binds to American cockroach proteins.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured to show your overall allergy antibody level, though it does not confirm a specific allergy.
- Other allergen-specific IgE — May be tested at the same time to check for reactions to dust mites, mold, or other common triggers.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat, drink, and take your usual medications unless your clinician gives other instructions.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a numerical level or a class score for each allergen tested. A clinician interprets these results alongside your symptoms and medical history, because a positive test alone does not always mean you have symptoms from that allergen. This is general information only and not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic to cockroaches?
A positive result shows your immune system has made antibodies to cockroach proteins, but only a clinician can determine if that causes your symptoms.
How long does it take to get results?
Most results are available within 1 to 3 business days after your blood sample is collected.
Do I need to avoid cockroaches before the test?
No. The test measures antibodies already in your blood, so you do not need to change your environment beforehand.
Can this test be done instead of a skin test?
Yes. A blood test is often used when skin testing is not practical, but your clinician will decide which test is best for you.
