Quantitative fit testing is the best way to ensure that N95 masks, among other things, protect people adequately and that they perform their function, especially in this period of the Pandemic which unfortunately continues to persist.



The quantitative fit testing technique measures the amounts of fine particles that may be inside the mask. It consists precisely in generating fine particles in the ambient air and then measuring their presence inside the masks. Whether it is N95 mask or P100 half mask or others, all masks can be tested. The method is simple, fast and efficient.
