About the Carbon Test Kit:

An air purifier is an investment which is why we work hard to customize each MCS unit to meet your needs. For sensitive users, we strongly recommend the use of our carbon test kit. The kit offers users the chance to try six samples of carbon in order to rule out any possible sensitivity. The purchase of a carbon test kit is required with all MCS models.
