Customised Projects
In addition to providing standard testing methodologies, airmid healthgroup excels in structuring customised solutions in order to meet the objectives of clients across a wide range of industries and enable them to differentiate and add value to their products or services.
We provide a number of services to manufacturers and retailers of cleaning products including;
- a scientific literature based review and assessment of the ingredients of a product
- expert medical opinion on the potential effects on health of a wide variety of ingredients and on whether the ingredients would be acceptable to people who suffer from asthma, allergy and non specific mucosal hypersensitivity
- comparison of the ingredients of a product against international limits set by bodies such as OSHA and ACGIH
- determination of the concentration of Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) emitted from cleaning products in our temperature and humidity controlled environmental test chambers
- a review of the likelihood of the product as a whole to cause irritation or an allergic reaction when it comes in contact with the skin
- assessment of the efficacy of the product in removing allergens, mold, bacteria and viruses
- assessment of the ability of the product to prevent particulates including allergen, mold, bacteria and viruses from becoming aerosolised
- measurement of the real time concentrations of airborne particulates, chemicals, allergen, mold, bacteria and viruses during the cleaning process
- determination of the effectiveness of a cleaning product in killing dust mites, bed bugs, mold, bacteria and viruses
- assessment of the ability of a laundry cleaning product to kill dust mites or bed bugs
- assessment of the ability of a laundry cleaning product to remove household allergens such as pollen, house dust mites, or mold
Any of the internationally recognised or proprieatary test methodologies we offer can be modified to the client's requirements to include, for example, variations in exposure time, concentration, or the organisms used.
In addition, we have the ability to scale up a project from a petri dish to our world class chambers where we can replicate indoor building environments and provide repeatable data regarding the impact the product or service tested has on indoor air exposures and building occupant health.
Furthermore we are capable of supporting laboratory and chamber based research with environmental field studies at locations where products and services are designed to work. In homes, offices and industry, we have the ability to reproduce the quality of testing that is carried out in our laboratories and chambers.
This breadth of testing expertise is unmatched in our field and is highly valued by our clients, particularly at the product development stage or in validating new technologies. Partnering with airmid healthgroup not only offers clients access to an open source for innovation, but also to a unique, scaleable range of the testing facilities that can be customised to their precise needs. This not only results in reduced R&D costs, and a faster time to market, but also compelling scientific health based data which will set their product or service apart from their competitors.
