A Simple and Versatile Nebulizer

Department of Chemistry, Escola Politécnica, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

ABSTRACT

The nebulizer presented in this paper is of simple and rugged construction, permits easy control of cell concentrations, prevents sedimentation of the microorganisms, and permits the cleaning of the suspension needles even during the runs and under aseptic conditions. Fluid consumptions from 10 to 25 ml per hr were obtained with rates of primary air varying from 10 to 25 liters per min. The average diameter of the droplets varied from 1.5 to 2.7 µ.
