The clinical sensitivity and specificity of an updated version of the Phadebas RAST test were superior to that of the conventional Phadebas system. In comparison to a three-hour first incubation, an overnight first stage incubation did not contribute to an improvement in the over-all clinical effectiveness of the test system. However, the prolonged first stage incubation did contribute to a better resolution between the normal, non-atopic control group and the atopic patient population.
