Flow focusing monodisperse aerosol generator
For studies requiring precise control over particle size, traditional aerosol generation methods can encounter issues like nozzle clogging and high shear stress, which can affect particle uniformity and cellular viability.
Generate uniform droplets with low shear stress
The Flow Focusing Monodisperse Aerosol Generator 1520 from TSI Systems leverages aerodynamic flow-focusing to achieve precise control over liquid jet diameters, producing monodisperse droplets and aerosol particles. The system can generate droplets ranging from 15 to 90 µm in diameter, which can be dried into particles measuring 0.7 to 15 µm in diameter. A 100-µm-diameter nozzle prevents clogging and reduces liquid pressure, resulting in low shear stress and viable biological cells after dispersion. This generator is ideal for calibrating droplet and aerosol particle sizing instruments, biological aerosol characterization, and animal exposure studies. Equipped with a built-in bipolar corona aerosol neutralizer and user-friendly touchscreen controls, the device ensures easy operation and handling.
