About KBMO

Their flagship test, the Food Inflammation Test (FIT) was invented by Dr Brent Dorval and is the only patented Food Sensitivity Test on the market that measures sensitivities for up to 176 different foods, colourings and additives. Dr Dorval, an accomplished scientist, received his PhD from MIT and is credited with inventing the first Rapid HIV diagnostic laboratory test. Under Dr Dorval’s leadership, KBMO’s approach to quality, accuracy and reproducibility has been based on their roots in the HIV testing arena, where there is no room for error.

Reproducibility for the FIT tests is tracked in two ways, through reagent qualification and proficiency testing. In reagent qualification, each new lot of reagent becomes qualified by running six samples on the current lot, and then again on the new lot. This is performed on six samples on at least a monthly basis. Two of those samples are from a frozen serum pool which allows them to track reproducibility for up to twelve months on the same sample.
This way they can monitor for any subtle shifts or trends in the antigens over time. Proficiency testing is also used to monitor reproducibility. Every six months, each laboratory technologist must match every other technologist in the lab on two samples reproduced independently. This not only ensures that the reagents used produce consistent results, but that each laboratory technologist produce the same results.

To add to their current range, they have now launched the Cardiovascular Inflammation Test (CIT) designed to evaluate and monitor cardiometabolic risk
