Particle Aerosol Measurement
Sizing, deposition, plume geometry, filtration efficiency, CADR.
Particle Deposition TestingQuantify where aerosols land on surfaces or anatomical models to support efficacy, safety, and use-condition decisions.Particle Size Distribution (PSD) TestingAerosol size distributions resolved by cascade impactor or real-time sizing — the size-fraction data that drives inhalation, exposure, and comparability decisions.Spray Pattern & Plume Geometry TestingQuantitative plume angle, spray pattern, and shape metrics for nasal sprays, oral sprays, and pressurized aerosols — submission-grade or development-fast.High-Speed Imaging & VelocimetryMicrosecond high-speed capture and PIV / PDV velocimetry — visualize transient sprays, leaks, and nozzle dynamics; quantify particle and flow speeds.Dose Uniformity & Emitted Dose TestingPer-actuation dose and shot-to-shot uniformity for MDIs, DPIs, nebulizers, and nasal sprays — the consistency data that defends inhalation performance.Filtration Efficiency Testing (ISO 16890 / HEPA)Quantify particle removal efficiency versus size for filters, media, and air-cleaning systems under controlled flow conditions.Device Particle Emissions TestingMeasure unintended particle emissions from operating devices and compare emissions to background under controlled conditions.Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) TestingDetermine particle removal rate of room air cleaners using controlled chamber decay methods for smoke, dust, and allergen surrogates.Particle and Gas Sensor ValidationValidate particle and gas sensors against reference instruments across controlled challenges, environments, and operating modes.
Device Challenge AerosolChallenge detectors and mitigation systems with controlled bioaerosol or tracer releases across wide concentration ranges.Bioaerosol Efficacy Testing RoomQuantify airborne microbe reduction by room or duct devices using controlled chambers and defined organism panels.Inline Bioaerosol ReductionQuantify single-pass bioaerosol reduction across in-duct or inline devices using load-based protocols and defined sampling intervals.Bioaerosol Risk AssessmentAssess unintended bioaerosol release and exposure risk from devices, faults, or procedures under controlled study conditions.
Breathing Simulation TestingSimulate realistic breathing profiles to quantify inhaled and respirable dose, emissions, and interface effects during device use.Inhalation Risk AssessmentEstimate consumer-use inhalation exposure for sprays, powders, and room scenarios using chamber data and exposure models.
Gas Delivery and ControlGenerate, deliver, and verify stable challenge gases with traceable concentration control for device, media, and chamber studies.VOC and By-Product Emissions TestingQuantify VOCs, aldehydes, ozone, and other by-products during device use in controlled chambers.Air Device Emissions Safety PanelRun an integrated chamber panel for ozone, NOx, formaldehyde, and VOCs to support air-device safety decisions.Gas and VOC Destruction TestingMeasure catalytic or oxidative destruction of gas-phase contaminants and quantify removal efficiency and capacity over time.
Antimicrobial Effectiveness (Non-Carrier)Quantify antimicrobial performance in liquid, gel, or treated matrices using controlled inoculation, neutralization, and validated recovery.Carrier-Based Surface EfficacyDemonstrate hard-surface disinfectant performance using standardized carriers, validated recovery, defined contact times, and soils.Residual Wear Antimicrobial EfficacyAssess persistent antimicrobial activity after drying, abrasion, and aging using repeat challenges and validated recovery methods.Cleaning Validation TestingConfirm residue removal and material compatibility for reusable devices, packaging, equipment surfaces, and cleaner-contact materials.Biofilm Efficacy TestingEvaluate antimicrobial performance against biofilms using controlled growth, treatment, validated recovery, and culture enumeration.Time-Kill KineticsQuantify kill rate versus time for antimicrobial liquids, sprays, treated surfaces, and contact-time decisions.Biofilm Surface EfficacyMeasure kill and removal of sessile organisms on materials using biofilm models with validated recovery.
Pharma Formulation SupportDevelop and optimize inhalation and nasal formulations for stability, performance, and delivery using lab-scale formulation tools.Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)Simulate airflow and aerosol transport to guide device design, placement, and performance predictions at room and component scales.Stability and Accelerated AgingEvaluate product, formulation, package, and device performance drift under controlled conditions to support shelf-life and change-control decisions.Flammability and IgnitionClassify aerosol and spray ignition behavior by measuring flame projection and ignition distance under defined conditions.Shelf-Life StudiesReal-time shelf-life studies that trend physical performance changes across storage, pulls, lots, and product configurations.Package Integrity and SterilityVerify seal integrity and sterility assurance for medical, consumer, and drug-delivery packages using validated leak methods.
