Alpha Scientific was approached to help a leading medical research organization characterize fine liquid aerosols being dispersed from a unique medical device. The particles of interest were from around 175nm to over 100um in size and thus there was a HUGE particle size range to take into consideration along with how to make the measurements accurately.
The instrument of choice was a Palas Promo 2000 high resolution aerosol spectrometer. With its wide particle size range up to 100um and with 128 particle sizing channels, the customer was able to sample the aerosol efficiently, size segregate it and achieve the results they were hoping for. Overall, an excellent and interesting project of which our staff were proud to be part of. The customer was very happy and they have the Palas Promo 2000 now in-house for any similar applications which may come along.
