Nektar Therapeutics (CA) to Host Investor and Analyst R&D Day in New York City

MIAMI, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tired of constant headaches? Sneezing? How about itchy eyes? Millions of Americas answer "yes" to these questions because they suffer from year-round allergies. More so, they are tired of wasting money on doctors' visits and medications to remedy ailments caused by irritants that are found in the comfort of their own homes. In response to this growing public health issue, PRO-LAB®, leading supplier of home safety test kits, has launched an Allergen Test Kit specifically to address common indoor allergens.

"We knew there had to be a better, more lasting solution than consistently treating symptoms with antihistamines and steroids", said Jamie McDonnell, founder of PRO-LAB®, the leading supplier of home safety test kits. "So we developed an Allergy Test Kit that specifically works to detect indoor allergens so families can remove the culprits from their living environment and make their homes their refuge."

The PRO-LAB® Allergen Test Kit employs the same testing methods used by doctors and professional home inspectors. Using the powerful analytical technology called ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Analysis) consumers will get the most accurate results that science has to offer. Results will be emailed 5 days after sample is received. "Our hope is that the results will empower families with the knowledge they need to protect themselves. If a sample indicates the presence of certain allergens, families can rest assured that a professional cleaning and consistent maintenance could bring relief to some of their symptoms," said McDonnell.
