Spanish term or phrase: prick test polivalente
From Spanish from Spain for translation to British English. Regarding solutions for skin prick test solutions for allergy tests.

In Spanish the "monovalente" types test for one single allergen, while the "polivalentes" combine several allergens (e.g. 2 or more grasses) in a single solution. I get no hits at all for "monovalent prick test" or ""polyvalent prick test".

"Existen dos tipos de soluciones Prick Test: monovalente y polivalente."

Explanation:
Generalmente, skin prick testing alude a lo que defines como "prick test polivalente" (https://ctajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2045-7... versus testing for a single allergen, que sería el equivalente a lo que defines como "monovalente".
También he visto expresiones más elaboradas como skin prick testing for multiple allergens, pero parecen traducciones.

Sin embargo, aunque resulte comprensible, no he encontrado referencias en castellano a prick test polivalente/monovalente con el sentido que apuntas, por lo que tal vez deberías revisar el original. ¿Puedes aportar contexto específico que confirme tu lectura?
