How does a moudi work?

The MOUDI impactor differs from other conventional cascade impactors in the use of a large number of micro-orifice nozzles to reduce jet velocity and pressure drop, minimize particle bounce and re-entrainment, and enhance collection efficiency. As many as 2,000 nozzles with diameters as small as 50 µm are used.

What is a cascade impactor used for?

Cascade impactors are strictly measurement-related devices. In addition to measuring the range of substances moved through an opening by aerosol, the impactor can also be used to determine the particle size of the distributed substance. A cascade impactor collects its samples in a graduated manner.

What is Andersen impactor?

Andersen cascade impactors are widely used to assess airborne particle size distributions. Two forms (MkI and MkII) have been calibrated using solid and liquid aerosols, measured by microscopy, fluorimetry, and aerodynamic particle sizer.

What is Andersen cascade impactor?

Andersen cascade impactor (ACI) (official in USP) is used to estimate the location of aerosol particle deposition into different regions of airways [23]. ACI has different stages depicting different regions of airways [24].

How does Next Generation Impactor work?

The Next Generation Impactor™, or NGI™, is a high- performance cascade impactor for classifying aerosol particle into size fractions for testing metered-dose and dry-powder inhalers and other inhaled drug delivery devices such as nebulizers and nasal sprays.

What does impactor mean?

Definition of impactor 1 : a machine (such as a steam or air hammer or a pile driver) or part that operates by striking blows. 2 : meteorite.

What are Andersen samplers used for?

The Andersen bioaerosol sampler uses multi-stage impaction to collect 6 aerosol fractions on the surfaces of microbiological growth medium contained in Petri dishes (Andersen 1958). Each of the 6-impactor stages has 400 jets, with smaller-size jets used in successive stages to obtain progressively smaller cutpoints.

What is NGI testing?

A new cascade impactor has been designed specifically for pharmaceutical inhaler testing. This impactor, called the Next Generation Pharmaceutical Impactor (NGI), has seven stages and is intended to operate at any inlet flow rate between 30 and 100 L/min.

What is a BioSampler?

The BioSampler is a highly efficient glass collection device that requires a high-volume sonic flow pump to trap airborne microorganisms for subsequent analysis. Externally the BioSampler resembles an all-glass impinger such as the AGI-30.
