Finn Chamber Tray

Application Tray for Finn Chamber Test Technique

  • Keeps the test strips in good order (4-6 strips per tray)
  • Stackable - saves space on work surface
  • Saves time as each semisolid test substance can be dispensed for several trays (patients) consecutively without opening and closing the syringe in between

Instructions

Filling the chambers

For general advice, see the instruction sheet for Finn Chambers on Scanpor. You can fill the chambers in normal reading order by keeping the strips as shown in figure. Fill in strips 1-2 (test substances 1-20). Turn the tray 180° and fill in strips 3-4 (test substances 21-40). The middle area can be used for additional strips.

Identification

The tray may be marked e.g. by tape flags, which can be attached on the side of the tray.

Stacking the trays

Several trays can be stacked. Be careful not to push the bottom of a tray on the tapes or test substances underneath. For a little higher distance between the trays turn every other tray 180°. Cover the stack with an empty tray.

Note

  • The tray should be used for short-period storage (a few hours) only.
  • Keep the filled chambers covered and at room temperature, not in the refrigerator. Cold tape does not adhere well and the test substances may be affected by the humidity.
  • Liquid test substances must be dispensed (using filter paper discs) just before applying the tests onto the skin, as dryness may cause weak or false negative reactions.

Material

The tray is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
