Prior to my current career as full-time Homeschooling Mom, I was one of the original scientists at Allergenetics. Our original mission was to develop non-isotopic (ELISA) in-vitro allergy diagnostics. Allergenetics was sold to 3M a year before I left and has since be resold to BioWhittaker. I don't know what happened to the original product lines. But they did work pretty well and corresponded very well to the "gold standard" RAST test. Let me know what you're doing more specifically and perhaps I can be of some assistance. I am no longer in the paid job market, but I try to keep up as best I can via the Internet and my literature and friends. Good luck.
