QuikChek™ simulants mimic the presence of biological or chemical aerosol threats using non-toxic powders in a pressurized medical inhaler. QuikChek is effective for verifying that detection equipment is working properly. With gas detectors, a small pulse of gas is commonly administered to the equipment before it is taken out into the field to see if an upscale reading is obtained. This safety measure is called a ‘bump test’ and shows that the equipment is operational.
QuikChek is effective for both chemical and biological bump tests.
