This high-quality modules’ casing is made of electropolished stainless steel.

More about Ames 4

Aerosol exposure top

Special sealing and connection mechanisms guarantee a hermetic connection of the base module with the aerosol exposure top.

The aerosol inlet-stream flows through specially shaped inlets. The stainless steel / VITROGLIDE inlets are specifically designed for aerosols containing nanoparticles. The aerosol exposure top features an in/outlet for heating the water circuit, ensuring corresponding temperatures with the base module. It is made of high-quality anodized aluminum.

Controlled inlet flow

VITROCELL® exposure systems have been specifically designed and engineered to give researchers the possibility of directly exposing mammalian cells or tissue at the air/liquid interface. Thus, all cell types cultivated on microporous membranes can be used. This approach allows for more credible and authentic results than by submerged exposure due to a closer replication of the human physiology.

Microbalance Sensor – Additional option

A choice of modules equipped with 1 Quartz Crystal Microbalance for dose monitoring is also available.

Petri dishes

The module has been designed for 35 mm Petri dishes.

Features

  • Suitable for Petri dishes (diameter 35 mm)
  • Hyperboloid geometry of inlets for optimized particle deposition and distribution
  • Direct flow control for each inlet
  • Base module made of stainless steel for maximum durability
  • Option: Quartz Crystal Microbalance
