Achieve an airtight seal with the industry's most intuitive test. The Allegro 2040 Deluxe Banana Oil Fit Test Kit provides a reliable, high-sensitivity method for performing Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT). Using the unmistakable scent of Isoamyl Acetate, this kit allows safety officers to verify respirator integrity instantly. If a user detects the distinct "banana" aroma during the protocol, it signals an immediate seal failure, allowing for correction before they enter a hazardous zone.
This Deluxe version is designed for high-volume safety programs. Unlike basic kits, it includes a comprehensive supply of eight 1-oz bottles, providing enough solution for up to 32 individual tests. Everything is housed in a rugged, high-impact storage case, ensuring your testing media and precision glassware remain protected during transport to various job sites or healthcare facilities.

FAQ-Fit Test Deluxe Kit
Q: Can this kit be used to test N95 disposable masks? A: No. Banana oil is a vapor and will pass directly through a standard N95 or P100 particulate filter. This kit is specifically for respirators equipped with Organic Vapor (OV) cartridges. For N95 or dust masks, we recommend the Allegro 2041 Bitrex Kit.
Q: Why does this kit include eight bottles? A: The Deluxe Kit is built for large-scale operations. Providing eight 1-oz bottles ensures that you have enough solution to test an entire crew without the need for frequent reordering, making it the most cost-effective choice for industrial safety managers.
Q: Is the test tent reusable? A: Yes. The included tent is designed for repeated use. It should be aired out in a well-ventilated area between tests to ensure no residual vapor remains, which could lead to a "false fail" for the next participant.
