The Allegro 2041-DLX Deluxe Bitrex Respirator Fit Test Kit is designed for qualitative respirator fit testing programs that use Bitrex, also known as denatonium benzoate, to help detect face seal leakage by bitter taste response.
This deluxe hard-case kit supports safety managers, EHS teams, industrial hygienists, contractors, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, municipal departments, and construction safety programs that need a portable fit testing setup for disposable and reusable respirators.
The kit includes a reusable test hood, two nebulizers for sensitivity and fit test solution, Bitrex sensitivity solution, Bitrex fit test solution, instructions, and a rugged carry case for transport and storage. The hard case helps protect the hood, nebulizers, and solution ampules between job sites, facilities, and training locations.
Bulk Ordering & Procurement Support
Need Bitrex fit test kits or fit testing supplies for a facility, contractor crew, healthcare site, municipal department, manufacturing plant, or respiratory protection program? ASA Supplies supports business, government, municipal, contractor, facility, and industrial purchasing teams with bulk quote support, volume pricing, purchase orders, and sourcing assistance.
Safety & Compliance Note
This kit supports OSHA qualitative fit testing procedures, but the employer is responsible for following OSHA 1910.134, written respiratory protection program requirements, manufacturer instructions, medical evaluation, training, and proper fit test administration. Bitrex QLFT depends on the test subject’s ability to detect the bitter taste during sensitivity screening. It is not a quantitative fit test and does not produce a numeric fit factor.

Buying Guide: Bitrex vs. Banana Oil Fit Test Kits
Choose the Allegro 2041-DLX Bitrex Fit Test Kit when you need a qualitative fit test method for N95 respirators, disposable filtering facepieces, and respirators equipped with particulate filters where Bitrex QLFT is appropriate.
Choose banana oil / isoamyl acetate only when testing respirators equipped with organic vapor cartridges or organic vapor protection. Banana oil is not appropriate for standard particulate-only N95 fit testing. For many general workplace respirator programs, Bitrex is the more flexible choice.
FAQ
What is the Allegro 2041-DLX Bitrex Fit Test Kit used for?
It is used for qualitative respirator fit testing using Bitrex bitter-taste solution as part of a respiratory protection program.
Can this kit be used for N95 fit testing?
Yes. Bitrex fit testing is commonly used for N95 and other particulate respirator fit testing when OSHA qualitative fit testing is allowed.
What does QLFT mean?
QLFT means qualitative fit test. It relies on the wearer detecting a test agent, such as Bitrex, during required fit test exercises.
What happens if the worker tastes Bitrex during the test?
If the worker detects the bitter taste during the fit test, the fit is considered unsatisfactory and the test is failed. A different size, model, or adjustment may be needed before retesting.
Does this kit provide a numeric fit factor?
No. This is a qualitative fit test kit. It does not provide a numeric fit factor like a quantitative fit test machine.
What is included with the deluxe kit?
The ASA page lists a reusable hood, two nebulizers, sensitivity and test solutions, easy-to-follow instructions, and a rugged hard case.
