• Description:
  Validated rapid and sensitive laboratory-based analyses are available to screen chemicals for sensitization potential. Laboratory-based chemical analyses can be used to confirm the presence of a patient's putative etiologic allergic contact dermatitis agent, identify unknown allergens, evaluate patch test quality, and test the quality of commercial chemical spot tests. Chemical analyses can be complex, time consuming, and costly, which may prohibit its use for routine patient care. [Description provided by NIOSH]
