IQ Chamber

We are very pleased to offer you the Application Device, specially designed for the IQ Ultra®, IQ Ultimate® and IQ Chamber™.

This Application Device will help you to prepare the IQ test units in order to save time. The patch tester can apply up to five (5) patch test units at a time, when loading the test chambers with haptens. The numbered strips on the application device, combined with fixed notches where the test units fit, minimises the risk of application mistakes.

Open up the test unit by removing the tape from the plastic cover until all ten (10) individual chambers are displayed on top of the application device (the tape is not to be removed entirely, just enough to roll up the 10 individual chambers). Apply thereafter the haptens into the plastic chambers (with the exception of liquid solutions for preparations in advance, as they will evaporate).

After having completed all individual chambers on the test units in one series, the prepared units can be sealed again by rolling back the tape onto the plastic cover. The test units should thereafter be put in a marked closed plastic bag and be stored in a refrigerator. The preferred method is to store the prepared test units in separate plastic bags, corresponding to the different series prepared and by numbers, e.g. S1-10, S11-20, S21-25 etc. Then prepare new test units in another series and so on.

The preparation of the patch tests in advance can be done up to two weeks before the patients visit the hospital/clinic.

The advantages of such a procedure for hospitals/clinics with many patients and many tests to do, are obvious:

  • The patients have to wait less time
  • The doctor/nurse can work under less stress; consequently the risk of making mistakes is reduced
  • As the loading procedure can be accomplished more efficiently, it will save time and thus be cost efficient
  • Patch testing can be performed outside the clinic/hospital, e.g. in factories
