Allergen Monitoring Service
Our Allergen
Monitoring Service can help you to assess the efficacy of your
control measures in protecting against exposure to major allergens
in the workplace. Monitoring for allergens can also be used to
inform risk assessments and identify high risk
activities.
We offer routine assays for the measurement of the
following:
- Mouse urinary protein (mus m 1)
- Rat urinary protein (rat n 1)
Industrial Enzymes
Enzymes are considered to be hazardous substances and should be
controlled according to the Control of Substances Hazardous to
Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH). Many types of enzymes are
increasingly being used to replace chemicals in a wide range of
processes and industries. Enzymes can cause allergic reactions such
as sneezing and coughing as well as more serious symptoms such as
tightness of the chest and shortness of breath. We offer a generic
protease assay and a specific Subtilisin Carlsberg as well
as α amylase (on request).
