specialty laboratory, is entirely owned by two scientists who have 
devoted their careers to the field of allergy. 
Jay Weiss, Ph.D. (Northwestern University, Tumor Cell Biology) has 
been actively involved in immunoassay test development and clinical 
trials for over 30 years focusing on the field of allergy. He has designed 
and directed assay development programs for various substances 
including: Total IgE, specific IgE, specific IgG and specific IgG4. Dr. 
Weiss has served as the President of the In Vitro Allergy Diagnostic 
Manufacturers Association, and advisor to the NCCLS In Vitro Specific 
IgE Standardization Committee. He has published several articles 
related to latex allergy and given numerous lectures on diagnostic 
allergy assays throughout the world. Dr Weiss directs research and 
development at Allermetrix and is currently focused on allergen 
component testing.
Gary Kitos, Ph.D., H.C.L.D., C.C. (Syracuse University, 
Biophysics) clinical immunology career spans more than 30 years, 
which began in an FDA approved allergy extract pharmaceutical 
company. He has developed specific IgE and specific IgG4 assays and 
integrated these tests into the reference laboratory environment. Dr. 
Kitos owned and operated Allergy Testing Laboratory, one of the 
nation's largest allergy in-vitro laboratories. His unique background in 
allergy extracts and formulation coupled with his clinical immunology 
background has formed the basis for his test strategy approaches in 
the field of allergy. Over the years he has designed and developed 
several allergy laboratory information systems (LIS) and was the first 
to offer interpretative allergy patient reports. Dr. Kitos is the Medical 
Laboratory Director and is board certified as a High Complexity 
Laboratory Director by the ABB.
Allermetrix, founded in 2006 is built around offering physicians the 
most sensitive assay coupled to the latest allergy information. Our 
patient reports, both interpretive, color coded and graphical are 
available in English and Spanish. When you or your office staff contact 
our laboratory with technical questions, expect to speak with one of 
our clinical immunologists, Dr. Weiss or Dr. Kitos.
