The Penn-Century MicroSprayer® Aerosolizer – Model IA-1B is a unique, patented atomizer that is widely
used for intratracheal aerosol administration. When used with a 0.5 ml gas-tight precision glass syringe
or 1 ml polycarbonate syringe, it produces a fine, highly concentrated, air-free mist from the end of a
small-diameter delivery tube. The Model IA-1B can successfully aerosolize a wide range of
pharmaceutical, biologic and toxicologic liquids, solutions and suspensions. It permits precise aerosol
drug administration to the lungs, nasal cavities or other
in vivo
and
in vitro
applications, including analysis
and testing of safety and efficacy of pulmonary and respiratory drug delivery methods.
The device is made of stainless steel and other chemically resistant components and is sterilizable and
reusable. It is available in two standard lengths for intratracheal
in vivo
use in rat or guinea pig, or in
any custom length (straight or with bend) for use in larger animals (rabbit, ferret, dog, sheep, cow,
monkey, etc.) or for
in vitro
applications.
