Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy Supplies
Allergy testing and immunotherapy covers the skin-testing devices, applicators and consumables used in allergy practices and clinics to screen for allergic sensitization and to support immunotherapy programs. The category includes single- and multi-head skin-prick devices, testing control solutions, and the syringes, trays and supplies used in allergen administration. Products are stocked from lines such as Lincoln Diagnostics for allergy practices, clinics and licensed distributors.
Allergy Testing Products Stocked
- Skin-prick test devices - Single-tip prick applicators and multi-head devices such as the Multi-Test comb for applying a panel of allergen extracts.
- Intradermal testing supplies - Fine-gauge syringes and needles used for intradermal allergen testing.
- Control solutions - Positive (histamine) and negative (glycerin/saline) control solutions for skin-test interpretation.
- Testing trays and templates - Application trays and skin-marking templates for organizing multi-allergen panels.
- Immunotherapy supplies - Syringes, mixing vials and consumables used in allergen immunotherapy administration.

Prick Testing, Controls and Panel Application
Skin-prick testing applies allergen extract to the skin surface and introduces it with a prick device, and multi-head applicators let a practice apply a full panel of allergens in a single controlled step, which speeds standardized panel testing. Positive histamine and negative saline or glycerin controls are applied alongside the allergen panel so the reaction can be interpreted against known references. Testing trays and skin-marking templates keep multi-allergen panels organized and mapped to the extract layout. Allergen extracts themselves are supplied by specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers and are handled under the practice protocol.
Allergy testing and immunotherapy supplies are a specialty consumable line concentrated in allergy and immunology practices that run standardized panel testing at steady volume. Consolidating skin-test devices, control solutions and immunotherapy consumables under one wholesale account keeps an allergy program equipped and standing orders aligned to panel workflow for materials management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single-tip and multi-head skin-prick devices?
A single-tip applicator introduces one allergen extract per prick, while a multi-head device such as a comb applicator applies a panel of several allergens in one pressed step. Multi-head devices speed standardized panel testing and keep application consistent across the panel, while single-tip devices are used for individual or add-on allergens. Both are single-use to avoid cross-contamination between extracts.
Why are positive and negative controls used in skin testing?
Positive and negative controls provide reference reactions that let the tester interpret allergen responses. The positive control is typically histamine, which should produce a reaction confirming the skin is capable of responding, and the negative control is saline or glycerin, which should produce no reaction and establishes the baseline. Reading allergen sites against these controls is standard practice in skin-prick interpretation.
What is the difference between skin-prick and intradermal allergy testing?
Skin-prick testing introduces allergen extract at the skin surface with a prick device and is the common first-line screening method. Intradermal testing injects a small amount of diluted extract into the dermis with a fine-gauge syringe and is more sensitive, used in some protocols as a follow-up. The catalog stocks the applicators for prick testing and the fine-gauge syringes used in intradermal testing; the testing method follows the practice protocol.
Can allergy practices order testing supplies in bulk?
Yes. Skin-prick devices, control solutions, testing trays and immunotherapy consumables are stocked in case and bulk quantities for allergy and immunology practices, clinics and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for practices running standardized panel testing at steady volume. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What allergy testing products should be in a practice formulary?
A typical allergy testing formulary includes the multi-head skin-prick device the practice standardizes its panels on, single-tip applicators for individual allergens, positive histamine and negative controls, fine-gauge syringes for intradermal testing where used, and testing trays and marking templates for panel organization, plus the immunotherapy consumables the program administers. Allergen extracts are sourced separately under practice protocol. MAP Medical builds consolidated allergy testing packages matched to practice workflow and volume - contact our team for an assessment.
