摘要：

This invention provides a device and methods for the rapid detection and/or diagnosis and/or characterization of one or more allergies (e.g., causes IgE mediated allergic reaction (immediate hypersensitvity) in a mammal (e.g., a human or a non-human mammal). In certain embodiments, the device comprises a microcantilever array where different cantilevers comprising the array bear different antigens. Binding of IgE to the antigen on a cantilever causes bending of the cantilever which can be readily detected.
