This test looks at your immune systems response to pathogens and whether this triggers an autoimmune response.
This test looks at chemicals that your immune system may be overreacting to. The test measures immune reactivity to a wide range of chemicals including mould toxins, detergent chemicals, plasticisers, benzene derivatives, flame retardants, dry-cleaning chemicals, parabens and heavy metals.

We are constantly bombarded by an ever-increasing number of chemicals and toxins on a day to day basis. Whether this comes from our food, the air we breathe or the water we drink, the body has to process these chemicals and toxins. There are many ways of measuring the actual toxins – hair, blood or urine, but the Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen is the first test to test your actual immune system’s response to toxins.
Toxic heavy metals and chemicals are all around us, in our environment and in our foods. Array 11 measures an expanded range of environmental chemical toxins that bind to human tissues versus other laboratory tests that only identify chemical exposure.
Important new research suggests that 20% of people show immune reactivity to environmental toxins which can be an important driver in autoimmune disease. When chemicals bind to our own tissue, they create antigens, substances that cause the immune system to produce antibodies, tagging them for destruction. On their own, the chemicals aren’t recognised by the immune system. It’s only when they combine with our own proteins that they become a target, and so does our healthy tissue. This is thought to be a key trigger in some cases of the autoimmune disease – explaining why the immune system has started to attack our own cells.
Due to advances in laboratory testing, it is now possible to test to see what chemicals your immune system is overreacting to. The test measures immune reactivity to a wide range of chemicals including mould toxins, detergent chemicals, plasticisers, benzene derivatives, flame retardants, dry-cleaning chemicals, parabens and heavy metals.
This test tests for IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies.
At Smart Nutrition we pride ourselves in offering the best cost possible for the Cyrex array 11 chemical immune test.
This test is only available in the UK.
The Cyrex array 11 chemical immune test identifies body burden of chemicals bound to human tissues, which may lead to autoimmune reactivity.
Exposure to high levels of toxins can compromise liver function and disrupt enzyme activity in the body. Certain individuals will also develop chemical sensitivities to these toxins. This isn’t related to the amount of toxin; instead, it’s dependent on whether the immune system is reacting to these environmental compounds of not. It’s possible to react to a toxin in the same way you can react to a food, such as gluten or dairy.
These toxins can be an important driver in autoimmune disease, in which the immune system starts to attack our own cells. This phenomenon can also lead to an overactive immune system and a loss of chemical tolerance. This manifests as:
People with loss of chemical tolerance often react to car fumes, body products, perfumes and any strong smells. It’s associated with symptoms such as asthma, migraines, depression, fibromyalgia, fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, incontinence, neurological dysfunction, rashes and autoimmune symptoms.
Once identified, exposure to these agents can be minimised to help calm down inflammation and tissue damage while a protocol is implemented to help restore immune tolerance.
You will need to arrange for a blood sample to be collected either at a laboratory in London, by a nurse at your GP service or at a private clinic or hospital. Any fee for this service is not included with the test fee.
While Cyrex is unable to provide an exhaustive list of medications due to the interactive complexities and varieties of medications and patient circumstances, the following have been noted:
Please do not stop any medication without your doctor’s consent.
Please return your sample using the prepaid return label.
Please note that samples should only be posted on Monday – Thursday so that they do not arrive over the weekend when the lab is closed.
3 years and above.
Your Cyrex 11 chemical immune test results will be ready in 16-20 working days.
Your test results will be emailed to you.

This test looks at your immune systems response to pathogens and whether this triggers an autoimmune response.
Test whether you have a food sensitivity to certain foods so that you can modify your diet accordingly. This test covers over 180 foods so you will get a comprehensive overview.
An essential test for anybody diagnosed with autoimmunity, the test looks at 24 different auto antibodies so any silent autoimmunity can be identified.
This test is the most comprehensive test for identifying the wheat and gluten reactivity, looking at over 16 different markers. It identifies whether you react but also which part of the body the reaction happens in.
This test looks at food that are cross reactive to gluten so that your diet can be amended.
Test the permeability of your blood brain barrier and whether this barrier is compromised, sometimes referred to as ‘leaky brain’.
Please do not return samples to the laboratories that may arrive after Wednesday 27th March and up to and including Monday 2nd April.
The laboratories are closed from the 28th March – 2nd April for the Easter Holiday.
