We use artuvetrin too but our practice has a dermatology cert holder who will be doing at least one intradermal test/week. Don't know how cost effective it would be if you're doing fewer cases.

Thank you both for your help.

We have for some time used Artuvetrin for both our ID skin testing supplies and serology testing. They supply vials which are fine as long as you have enough of a caseload to doing regular skin testing. Not aware of anywhere that does one off kits. Andy

Many years ago a company called Bencard (from memory) offered a large range of allergy testing material. I think that they were a subsidiary of what was then Beecham but with the various mergers, takeovers, and failures I do not know where they are now. Try a google.
