3M Sweet Sensitivity Testing Solution, 55 ml, Sodium Saccharin, FT11

The 3M FT11 Sweet Sensitivity Testing Solution is a specialized reagent formulated with sodium saccharin designed for qualitative fit testing of respiratory protective equipment. Housed in a 55 ml container, this sensitivity solution is commonly employed during OSHA-mandated respirator fit tests to determine whether a respirator forms an effective seal on the user's face.

In use, the subject dons a testing hood and collar, and the FT11 solution is introduced via a nebuliser. If the individual tastes the sweet solution, it indicates that the respirator's seal may be inadequate, prompting a refit or mask change. This results in quick and reliable verification of protective equipment performance in real-world scenarios.

The FT11 solution contains sodium saccharin and water, making it both non-toxic and safe for inhalation during fit testing procedures. The concentration and density, specified as 1g/ml, assure a distinctive sweet taste detectable at low concentrations, ensuring accurate sensitivity assessment. This product is ready for direct application and does not require refrigeration or special storage conditions, offering convenience for frequent use in workshops or in the field.

This sensitivity solution is suitable across various industrial environments, including manufacturing plants, construction sites, and locations involved in environmental remediation. It is ideal for safety officers, EHS professionals, and industrial hygienists conducting compliance checks and fit-testing programs. The 55 ml packaging is sufficient for several complete tests, providing value and efficiency for safety teams.

Being part of the 3M qualitative fit testing range, the FT11 solution integrates seamlessly with other 3M fit testing systems, including hoods, collars, and nebulisers designed for both particulate and gas/vapour respirators. It ensures that organizations can maintain robust respiratory protection protocols, minimizing exposure to airborne hazards and helping meet health and safety standards.

This product is a key item for laboratories, industrial health & safety teams, and workplaces where high-quality fit testing of respiratory PPE is mandated. Used to check proper fit of particulate and gas/vapour respirators.

Supplied in 55 ml bottle, offering sufficient quantity for multiple applications. Non-toxic and safe to use, containing sodium saccharin. No special storage requirements; remains effective at room temperature. Facilitates compliance with industry health and safety regulations such as OSHA.
