I need to find a company/facility that is interested in loading a drug inhaler cartridge (something generally used for asthmatic people) with monodisperse microsize particles. These are solid spheres in the range of 1-10 um. I want a cheap and quick way to create an aerosol using this inhaler for the testing of samplers. Any suggestion and contacts are very welcome.
Very simple.
You should buy any drug powder inhaler that works with hard shell capsules.
Fill the capsules with your microparticles and ...it is done !!
I think that you need to use cascade impactor to study particle deposition

Claudio,
Thanks for the suggestion. I searched hard-shell capsules and they might be good for my application. I need to discover though if each capsule can be used only once. If so, this could be problematic considering the cost of the microsphere and the fact I would need few micrograms in the each capsule.
Rana,
I am very familiar with cascade impactors and I don't think is what I need for this idea.Thanks
