PAO-4 Reagent

Four-centistoke PAO (Chemical Abstract System ID 6864 9-12-7) reagents offer a U.S. Food & Drug Administration-approved alternative to DOP in FDA-regulated filter leakage testing applications. PAO is approved by the U.S. Army Surgeon General and is used by the United States military as a substitute for DOP in their filter and mask testing processes.

Ondina X 420 (EMEA Only)

Ondina X 420 is the latest version of Ondina, manufactured by Shell. Its CAS (Chemical Abstract System) Number is 1262661-88-0. The earlier Ondina EL version was listed in ISO 14644-3:2005 as one of the typical substances used to generate test aerosols, and X 420 continues to be widely used for in-situ testing of HEPA filters.
