Environmental allergen chamber testing

 

 Our state-of-the-art environmental test chambers simulate real-world conditions, ensuring accurate and relevant results.

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited (Reg. no. 284T via INAB) for precise  quantification of Der p 1 (D. pteronyssinus)and Fel d 1 (cat allergen) via ELISA-based assays
  • Airmid brings world‑class expertise in allergen analysis, combining proprietary assays and internationally recognised ELISA protocols to deliver robust, defensible results

Who We Support

  • Textiles, cleaning & hygiene products, vacuum/steam/UV/ionic devices
  • Allergen control interventions including washing, freezing, tumble‐dry, chemical or probiotic treatments
  • Product innovators seeking verifiable allergen reduction claims across consumer and professional sectors

 Testing Methods & Facilities

  • Custom studies conducted in environmental chamber simulations, homes, and business environments to replicate real‑world allergen exposure conditions
  • Quantification using ELISA for a wide range of allergens:
  • Dust mite: Der p 1, Der f 1, Der p 2, Der f 2Animal: Fel d 1 (cat), Can f 1 (dog), Mus m 1 (mouse urine)
  • Cockroach: Bla g 1
  • Pollen: Phl p 5 (timothy), Bet v 1 (birch), Amb a 1 (ragweed)

Environmental Sample Analysis

  • Testing of house‑dust, air duct, air filter, surface or environmental samples from homes, schools or businesses

Passive and Barrier Testing:

  • Passive Allergen Chamber Studies: Long‑term evaluation of products designed to reduce dust mite populations over time 
  • Allergen Barrier Test with Airflow: Assesses the efficacy of fabrics, seams, zippers in blocking allergen passage using airflow‑driven ELISA detection; ideal for textiles claiming “hypo-allergenicity” or barrier performance

Feather & Down Contamination Testing

  • Proprietary patented method for avian allergen and microbial contamination detection in feather/down bedding, pillows, insulations
  • Measures avian IgG, mite Group 2 allergens, and total soluble protein; includes microbial (“TVC bacteria/fungi”) assessment 

Vacuum Cleaner Allergen Removal (ELISA Pick‑Up Test)

  • Simulates carpet allergen pickup under controlled conditions (23°C ±2, RH 50±5%)
  • Pre‑ and post‑vacuum ELISA quantification using reference vacuum dust collection and extracted bags/filters
  • Supports manufacturer claims on allergen extraction and retention performance
  • Typical turnaround: ~4 weeks for full ELISA data set
