The Glass Twin Impinger (GTI) is the Inpharmatec laboratory device used in the testing of inhalation products, particularly for determining the aerodynamic particle size distribution of aerosols emitted from inhalers. It operates at a specific flow rate (usually 60 L/min) and uses a two-chamber system to separate particles based on their size.
The Glass Twin Impinger (GTI) consists of six primary components:
Base: Provides stability and support for the entire instrument during operation.
Jet Assembly: Directs the aerosol into the device.
Throat: Connects the jet assembly to the rest of the apparatus, guiding the aerosol flow.
Neck: Joins the throat to the impingement chambers.
Upper Impingement Chamber: Collects larger particles (those greater than 6.4 μm).
Lower Impingement Chamber: Collects smaller particles (those less than 6.4 μm).
Together, these components ensure the accurate separation and collection of particles based on size, allowing for precise measurement and analysis of aerosol characteristics in inhalation product testing.
