Dry aerosols
Canadian researchers have used ultraviolet spectroscopy to validate the efficacy of a new dry powder inhaler developed by their laboratory.
Biljana Grgic, Zhaolin Wang, and Warren Finlay founder of the Aerosol research Laboratory of Alberta, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, have developed a new type of dry powder inhaler (DPI) for drug delivery that is not only compact and highly efficient but reduces the deposits of powder that cause throat problems for many patients using conventional inhalers, such as asthma sufferers.
