Cyrex Array 10 Mastery: A Comprehensive Clinical and
Technical Reference
Introduction to Cyrex Array 10
Cyrex Array 10, the Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen™,
represents a significant advancement in food sensitivity testing,
developed through decades of research by Dr. Aristo Vojdani, a
pioneer in the field of functional immunology [1]. This revolutionary
panel, introduced by Cyrex Laboratories, emerged from Dr.
Vojdani's extensive work in applying ELISA technology to test for
food immune reactivity, which began in 1986 [2]. The culmination
of thirty years of scientific development, Array 10 features ten
advanced proprietary technologies that distinguish it from
conventional food sensitivity tests [3].
Historical Development of Cyrex Testing
The evolution of Cyrex testing technology follows a path of
progressive innovation in understanding food immune reactivity.
Prior to Array 10, Dr. Vojdani developed several groundbreaking
panels, including:
Array 3
The first panel to test for reactivity to multiple gluten and
non-gluten peptides of wheat [4]
Array 4
Introduced the concept of testing for gluten-associated
cross-reactive foods [5]
Landmark Raw vs. Cooked Research
Published in 2009, this research demonstrated that heating foods
above 118 degrees Fahrenheit changes their protein structure and
potentially their antigenicity, leading directly to the development
of Array 10 [6]
