TRUE Test offers a standardized patch testing system for accurate allergen detection. This ready-to-apply method ensures reliable results for diagnosing contact dermatitis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Contact Dermatitis Research

Background:

  • Contact dermatitis diagnosis relies on accurate allergen identification.
  • Standardized patch testing systems are crucial for consistent results.
  • Existing patch test methods require validation for improved accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate TRUE Test, a novel, ready-to-apply patch test system.
  • To assess the stability and accuracy of the TRUE Test allergen panels.
  • To compare the efficacy of TRUE Test with established patch testing techniques.

Main Methods:

  • TRUE Test utilizes a polyester patch with a hydrophilic polymer film containing allergens.
  • Allergen release is triggered by skin hydration, forming a gel.

  • Standardization and stability were assessed through in vitro and in vivo studies.

    • Main Results:

    • The first panel of 12 allergens demonstrated standardized stability.
    • International multicenter studies certified the accuracy of the test panel.
    • A second panel of 11 allergens was developed, covering the North American Contact Dermatitis Group standard panel.

    Conclusions:

    • TRUE Test provides a standardized and accurate method for patch testing.
    • The system simplifies allergen application and enhances diagnostic reliability.
    • TRUE Test is a validated tool for diagnosing contact dermatitis effectively.
