Description
Bitter Test Solution for OSHA Respirator Fit Testing
The bitter test solution is used during qualitative respirator fit testing to verify proper respirator seal and fit. Once sensitivity is confirmed, this solution is aerosolized to determine whether Denatonium Benzoate penetrates the respirator.
If the wearer detects the bitter taste, the respirator fit has failed. Therefore, this solution plays a critical role in maintaining workplace respiratory safety.
Denatonium Benzoate for Immediate Breakthrough Detection
Denatonium Benzoate produces an unmistakable bitter taste upon exposure. As a result, it provides clear and immediate feedback during fit testing.
The bitter test solution ensures accurate detection of leaks in disposable and reusable dust and mist respirators. Consequently, employers can confidently validate respirator performance.
Disposable Glass Ampules for Clean, Accurate Testing
This solution is supplied in single-use glass ampules with pre-drilled plastic caps for controlled pouring into nebulizers. In addition, each ampule is enclosed in protective plastic to reduce breakage and contamination.
Each tube contains 2.5 cc of solution and averages 3–5 fit tests, making it efficient and cost-effective for safety programs.
Designed for OSHA-Compliant Fit Test Systems
The bitter test solution is designed for use with standard qualitative fit test nebulizers. When aerosolized, it delivers particles in the 0.3 to 5.0 micron range, ensuring consistent exposure during testing.
Therefore, it integrates seamlessly into OSHA-required respiratory protection programs and established fit test kits.
