3M™ sensitivity solutions are used to test the sensitivity of the respirator wearer to a sweet or bitter solution. These solutions are intended for use with 3M™ qualitative fit test apparatus kits FT-10 (sweet) and FT-30 (bitter).

• Sweet and bitter taste sensitivity solutions for fit testing
• 55 ml bottle
• For occupational use only

Test kits and accessories designed to help organisations meet regulatory fit testing requirements for respirators. Sensitivity solutions are used to identify whether the test recipient can detect the solution prior to wearing a respirator.

The sweet solution uses a test solution of sodium saccharin that produces a sweet tasting aerosol. A small percentage of the population cannot detect sodium saccharin, in which case the bitter soltuion should be used (or vice versa). The bitter solution uses a test solution of denatonium benzoate to produce a very bitter taste.
