Synthetic Blood Services Overview

Synthetic blood spray machine for ppe testing

Maintaining the integrity of protective masks is extremely important to those who wear them, especially in the medical field where the safety of both healthcare professionals and patients is non-negotiable. For this reason, the manufacturing and production of masks must often meet a certain set of standards that requires thorough PPE testing.

The ASTM F2100 series PPE testing standard has been established to qualify masks, ensuring they provide reliable protection for wearers. Among these rigorous tests, one critical evaluation is the blood penetration resistance test, which follows the guidelines of ASTM F1862 or ISO 16603. This specific test method assesses the ability of medical face masks to resist synthetic blood penetration, guaranteeing that under real-world scenarios, blood will not permeate and contact the user’s face.

Crucially, the blood used in these testing standards must precisely mimic the surface tension and density of human blood. To meet this requirement, our synthetic blood is meticulously produced and rigorously tested at Kinectrics’ accredited analytical chemistry laboratory. This ensures compliance with industry standards and peace of mind for PPE testing facilities. By employing our synthetic blood in these tests, we contribute to the assurance of mask effectiveness, reinforcing the safety measures in medical environments and upholding the highest standards of healthcare.
