Description

Product Details The FMAG 1520 uses the aerodynamic flow-focusing effect to accurately control the diameter of a liquid jet for generating monodisperse droplets from 15 – 90 µm in diameter, which are then dried to produce particles from 0.7 to 15 µm in diameter. In normal operation, a stream of liquid flowing out of a 100-µm-diameter nozzle is stretched to a much thinner stream by the focusing gas flow. The resulting thin liquid jet then breaks up into uniform-sized droplets after passing through a vibrating ceramic aerosol generation head. The large 100-µm-diameter nozzle in the FMAG enables aerosol generation over extended periods of time without experiencing nozzle clogging problems, and at a very low liquid pressure. This low shear stress generally enables biological cells to remain viable, even after dispersion as uniform particles.
