Artificial throat

For more routine examination of medicinal aerosols, artificial throat devices are useful. With these, comparative studies of the behaviour of aerosols can be carried out. In these devices the particles are segregated according to size. Analysis of the collecting layers at the several levels of the device allows the monitoring of changes in released particle size. In devices with an artificial mouth, this...
