Food Allergy Testing on the Upper East Side, NY

The Basophil Activation Test is an advanced blood test that measures how a patient’s immune cells react to specific food allergens. BAT adds real-world functional data on top of standard IgE testing and helps clarify which foods carry true risk. At our Upper East Side clinic, BAT plays a central role in creating safe, evidence-based treatment plans.
