Do You Recognise These Symptoms?

New Malden is a diverse, vibrant community in the KT3 postcode — and like all of outer South London and Surrey, it has significant exposure to grass and tree pollens during spring and summer, plus the year-round allergens of house dust mite, pet dander, and food sensitisation that affect people throughout the UK.

Many New Malden residents have lived with allergy symptoms for years — sneezing every spring, reacting to certain foods, struggling with eczema or hives — without ever receiving comprehensive testing. The ALEX3 molecular allergy test is specifically designed to close that gap. At Lambert Medical, just 10 minutes from New Malden, you can access the same level of allergy diagnostics used by NHS specialist allergy centres — without a referral, without the waiting list.

Symptoms that commonly prompt allergy testing in our New Malden patients include:

Seasonal hayfever — sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, blocked or runny nose, particularly during spring and summer pollen seasons
Skin reactions — recurring urticaria (hives), eczema flares, or unexplained itching
Food reactions — digestive symptoms, tingling in the mouth, or skin reactions after eating specific foods
Pet dander reactions — worsening symptoms around cats, dogs, or other animals
Insect sting reactions — excessive swelling or hives following bee or wasp stings
Persistent fatigue and congestion — year-round blocked nose or chronic tiredness that may be allergen-driven

What is the ALEX3 Allergy Test?

ALEX3 (Allergy Explorer 3) is a molecular component-resolved allergy test that analyses 300 allergens including 218 individual molecular protein components from a single blood draw. It is one of the most comprehensive allergy diagnostic tools available to patients in the UK.

The defining feature of ALEX3 is its molecular resolution. Standard allergy tests measure your reaction to crude allergen extracts — entire mixtures of proteins from a source like grass pollen or peanut. ALEX3 goes deeper, identifying which specific proteins within those allergens are driving your immune response. This level of detail has real clinical implications:

  • Pollen-food syndrome: If you react to raw apples, peaches, or hazelnuts but not to cooked versions, this is often a cross-reactive response to birch or grass pollen — not a true food allergy. ALEX3 can confirm this, potentially allowing you to safely reintroduce cooked versions of those foods.
  • Risk stratification: Specific molecular proteins (such as peanut Ara h 2) are associated with higher anaphylaxis risk. Identifying these guides emergency preparedness and clinical management.
  • Immunotherapy guidance: Molecular component data is used to assess suitability for allergen desensitisation.

ALEX3 requires no antihistamine withdrawal and no fasting. Results are available within 7–10 working days. Lambert Medical brings this technology to New Malden residents without the need for a referral or waiting list.

What Does ALEX3 Test For?

🌿 Pollens

Grass, tree, and weed pollens at the molecular level — covering all major UK pollen season triggers.

D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, storage mites — leading cause of year-round allergic rhinitis and eczema in UK homes.

🐱 Pet Dander

Cat, dog, horse, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, mouse, rat allergens with individual molecular components.

🥜 Foods

All 14 major food allergens and many more — including specific molecular components for clinical risk assessment across nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, sesame, fruits, and vegetables.

🍄 Moulds

Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium — common triggers in damp environments and during autumn.

🐝 Insect Venom & Latex

Frequently Asked Questions — Allergy Testing near New Malden

No referral is needed. Lambert Medical Practice is a CQC-registered private clinic with GMC-registered doctors. New Malden residents can book their ALEX3 test directly — online or by phone — without waiting for a GP appointment. Our clinic is approximately 10 minutes away in Tolworth, Surbiton.

ALEX3 is a molecular allergy blood test screening 300 allergens including 218 individual protein components from a single blood draw. Skin prick tests typically cover only 20–40 allergens, require antihistamine withdrawal for several days, and cannot differentiate true sensitisation from cross-reactive responses. ALEX3 provides molecular-level insight that enables more precise risk stratification and clinical decision-making.

ALEX3 allergy testing at Lambert Medical is £295, covering the blood draw, full laboratory analysis of all 300 allergens, and your comprehensive results report. GP consultation to discuss results is available separately at an additional cost.

ALEX3 screens 300 allergens in total, including 218 molecular allergen components across foods, pollens, house dust mite, pet dander, moulds, insect venoms, and latex. This is significantly more comprehensive than any standard skin prick test or basic IgE blood panel.

ALEX3 is a highly detailed food sensitisation diagnostic tool. It identifies IgE antibodies to specific food proteins, including components associated with higher-risk systemic reactions versus milder oral allergy syndrome. Results must always be interpreted by a clinician alongside your symptom history. ALEX3 does not replace an oral food challenge for definitive food allergy diagnosis.

Pollen-food syndrome occurs when the immune system cross-reacts between pollen proteins and similar proteins in raw foods. If you are sensitised to birch or grass pollen, you may experience tingling or mild reactions when eating certain raw fruits, vegetables, or nuts. ALEX3 can identify these cross-reactive patterns — which is clinically important as they are usually mild and often tolerated when food is cooked or processed.

ALEX3 results are typically available within 7–10 working days. The analysis is performed at a certified specialist laboratory using advanced microarray technology. We will contact you as soon as your results are ready.

Yes. For children from approximately 5 years who are comfortable with a blood draw, ALEX3 provides the most comprehensive allergy picture — 300 allergens from a single sample, without antihistamine withdrawal. For younger children, we offer skin prick testing as an alternative. Both options are priced at £295.

If your ALEX3 results indicate sensitisation to proteins associated with more severe reactions, our GP will discuss this in detail during your results consultation. This may include allergen avoidance advice, emergency medication prescription such as an adrenaline auto-injector, and referral to an NHS allergy specialist for further management or immunotherapy assessment.

Yes. ALEX3 includes a comprehensive pollen panel tested at the molecular level — covering grass, tree, and weed pollens. For New Malden residents suffering from hayfever, this can pinpoint exactly which pollens are responsible and to what degree, informing treatment decisions such as hayfever injections or immunotherapy.
