Notes/Comments: A sieved reference dust sample
containing a known quantity of the indicated allergen
was loaded into one side of the special dual chamber
along with two steel bearings. The fabric cloth being
investigated was inserted as the barrier between the
empty and dust containing sides of the chamber is a
glass vial (2.1 cm diameter by 4 cm length) with a
transfer surface area between the two vials of 1.13 cm2.
The chamber was rotated at 25 rotations per minute for
18 hours. The two 1/8" steel bearings in the allergen
vial weighed 132 milligrams each. At the conclusion of
the tumbling period, the empty side was tested for the
presence of allergen by a sensitive enzyme immunoassay
with a limit of detection of 1.3 nanograms of Der f1
allergen. When the results of this use simulation test
for a fabric are less than 1.3 ng transferred, it can be
concluded that the fabric being tested is an effective
barrier to dust mite allergen transfer.
Allergen Loaded: 0.250 grams of fine dust containing
132.5 nanograms of dust mite allergen.
