Product testing
The National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit has dedicated facilities for testing a variety of products which can be used by allergy sufferers to control or prevent their allergies becoming worse. Allergens found within the home include house dust mite, cat, dog, mould, pollen, cigarette smoke and irritants.
We have an experienced product testing team who can design and carry out the necessary tests using a range of different techniques.
These are just some examples of products we have tested:
- Washing Machines
- Vacuum Cleaners
- Air purifiers
- Anti allergy bedding including sheets, pillows, mattress covers and duvets
- Mattresses
- Dehumidifiers
- UV lamps
- Ion detectors
- Dusters
- Cleaning products
- Tissues
At our independent test laboratories you can be sure to receive a high quality and comprehensive report which can be a basis of your marketing.
Test facilities include a dedicated Product Testing Laboratory, an Environmental Test Chamber and a Thermal Desorption and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry unit.
