Particle Size Analysis of Aerosols from Medicinal Inhalers
Methods currently in use for the in-vitro measurement of the particle size distribution of aerosols from medical inhalers are reviewed with emphasis on their applicability both for product development and quality control testing and for simulation of likely performance in clinical use. Key attributes and limitations of the various techniques are identified, and consideration is also given both ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of medicinal aerosols
Four commercially available medicinal aerosol products in India have been assessed for the aerosol size distribution at two different humidities using a ten stage cascape impactor device having a quartz crystal microbalance system. An indigenously made nebulizer in use in a city hospital has also been assessed for its aerosol efficiency. The size range is between 0.05 and 25 J.l,m. Mode in the ...
متن کاملAerosols and Ice Particle Size in Tropical Cumulonimbus
A retrieval of ice crystal size near the tops of active deep convective clouds (Cb) throughout the Tropics over a 12-year period is presented based on radiances from the 3.7m channel of the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer). Effective diameters ( ) are 10-20% smaller over land than ocean. Downwind of continents, crystals are smallest when low-level, offshore transport is stronges...
متن کاملParticle size study of nine metered dose inhalers, and their deposition probabilities in the airways.
This study deals with the particle size measurement of nine aerosol metered dose inhalers. Calibration was made possible by the use of a laser particle velocimeter (aerodynamic Particle Sizer from TSI). The count median aerodynamic diameters (CMAD) show little variation, from 0.63 to 0.73 micron, with standard deviations (sigma g) between 1.2 and 1.8. Aerodynamic diameter aerosol diagram analys...
متن کاملTuning Aerosol Particle Size Distribution of Metered Dose Inhalers Using Cosolvents and Surfactants
OBJECTIVES The purpose of these studies was to understand the influence of cosolvent and surfactant contributions to particle size distributions emitted from solution metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) based on the propellant HFA 227. METHODS Two sets of formulations were prepared: (a) pMDIs-HFA 227 containing cosolvent (5-15% w/w ethanol) with constant surfactant (pluronic) concentration and (b) ...
