Skin Prick Automated Test device offers more reliable allergy test results compared to a manual skin prick test.

Background: The skin prick test (SPT) is the gold standard for identifying allergic sensitization in individuals suspected of inhalant allergy. A novel device, SPAT or Skin Prick Automated Test, that enables more standardized allergy testing has been developed. Previous research has shown reduced intra-subject variability of histamine wheals by SPAT.
