The chemicals used for the tests have been carefully tested by manufacturers and dermatologists to determine the most appropriate concentration for testing. If the concentration is too weak, some people who are allergic to the chemical will not react to the controlled substance (false negative). If it is very strong, some people who are not allergic to the chemical will have a positive irritant reaction (false positive).
