Both prick and intradermal tests are done using diluted penicillin G at a concentration of 10,000 u/ml, Pre-pen at full strenght and minor determinant mixture if available. If skin test for penicillin using major determinants (benzylpenicilloyl), a mixture of minor determinants and pencillin G is negative, up to 99% of patients will tolerate penicillin. If skin testing using benzylpenicilloyl and penicillin G (as the sole source of minor determinants) is negative, approximately 97% of patients with a negative skin test will tolerate penicillin. However, a few patients who are at risk for anaphylactic reaction will be missed with this testing method because penicillin G does not contain all the minor determinants
