Vibrant assigns a numerical value to quantify the antibodies measured by chemiluminescent signal on a proprietary microchip. Antibody levels to food proteins are calculated by comparing the patient's average intensity to that of a healthy reference population. Reference ranges were established using 192 healthy individuals.
- Antibody levels above the 97.5 percentile are considered highly reactive (red) to the food.
- Antibody levels between the 92.5 and 97.5 percentile are considered moderately reactive (yellow) to the food.
- Antibody levels below the 92.5 percentile are considered to have low (green) reactivity.
