Preparation of skin test solution

principle

The body fluid of the human body contains many electrolytes, which can be dissociated into freely moving cations and anions in the body fluid. Due to the presence of these ions, the body fluid is conductive and the body fluid is spread throughout the body, so the entire body can conduct electricity. The structure of penicillin is acidic and negatively charged. According to the principle of homosexual repulsion and heterosexual attraction, penicillin negative ions can cause directional movement on the negative electrode, penetrate into the skin through the sweat gland holes, and can work locally or deep into the bloodstream.
