Iso Amyl Acetate (banana oil) offers the oldest method of testing respirator fit. Its strong, readily identifiable odor will be recognized if respirators don't obtain a fit. The kit includes all the equipment necessary to perform a proper fit test, including a fit test tent, jars, 8 oz. testing agent, paper towels, disposable bags and other necessary components, all housed in a convenient storage and carry case.

The #0202 Deluxe Banana Oil Kit will test approximately 50-100 people

Standard Banana Oil Kit

For quick fit testing the standard kit contains two 1 oz. bottles of test agent, vinyl test enclosure, measuring pipette, and paper towels in a handy carry bag.

Respirator Fit Check Ampules

Provides a fast, safe and easy method to perform qualitative respirator fit check. When activated, the ampules give off a non-irritating odor of banana oil (Iso Amyl Acetate). If banana odor is detected by the wearer, the respirator must be adjusted or replaced. 10 ampules per box.

Bitrex Fit Test Kit™

The Bitrex™ Fit Test Kit offers qualitative OSHA-compliant fit testing for disposable and reusable dust and mist respirators. Bitrex creates an unmistakable bitter taste that indicates break through in the respirator fit. Bitrex has been found safer than saccharin tests while producing identical results. Disposable glass ampules make pouring solution into nebulizers easier and reduces the chance of contamination.

The #2041 Bitrex Fit Testing Kit will test approximately 3-5 per tube. You also have to factor in, the experience level of the person giving the test, and how sensitive the person is receiving the test is.
