Uses:

The Chemo Cobalt Test  is an easy one step method to detect free Cobalt in metallic objects.  

The test detects free cobalt down to a limit of 8.3 ppm (parts/million). The sensitivity threshold of most cobalt allergic patients is above 10 ppm. Some strongly allergic patients will however still react to objects releasing amounts below the threshold of the test.

Chemo Cobalt Test™ consists of 8 ml Nitroso-R salt for the detection of cobalt in various metallic objects. Nitroso R salt produces a bright, redish-pink insoluble salt with cobalt.

With no known cure for nickel allergy, cobalt avoidance is key to protect your skin from allergic reactions. Chemo CobaltTest™ allows you to easily test for Cobalt in metal objects.

We hope that the Chemo Cobalt Test™ will be of benefit to you in order to avoid exposure to cobalt thereby minimizing contact dermatitis caused by cobalt releasing objects. 

Notice: Use only Chemo Cobalt Test™ on metal objects.  

Product packaging: The test solution is contained in a glass bottle with a dropper insert and screw on cap. The product is packaged in a plastic cylindrical container with a flip-top-capped alongside two cotton swabs and printed instructions for use.
