Skin testing for tuberculosis (TB) utilizes a form of the diagnostic reagent tuberculin . The multiple puncture technique is referred to as the Heaf, or tine test, whereas purified protein derivative (PPD-S) is commonly administered by intradermal injection, called the Mantoux technique after Charles Mantoux, who described the technique in the early part of the twentieth century . Old Tuberculin is used clinically only in the multiple puncture technique. PPD-S can also be used in some systems for multiple puncture, but the standard PPD-S solution should never be used in the multiple puncture technique as its concentration is not standardized for the technique . In the multiple puncture systems, only PPD-S designed for that system should be used . PPD-S occasionally is administered as "first strength" (1 TU) or "second strength" (250 TU) and is equivalent to a 1 :100 concentration of OT . The clinical utility of firstand secondstrength tuberculin is poorly defined . Intermediate-strength PPD-S remains the best studied . PPD-S, even when stabilized with Tween-80, is sensitive to light and to a certain extent to temperature . Thus it should be stored in a refrigerator .
