ABSTRACT:
Aerosol droplet dimensions are important when aerosols are used as delivery means for such as labelled antibodies. Droplets from an aerosol containing solvent and solute are deposited onto a surface, which surface permits the droplet to maintain its surface tension, and subjected to rapid freeze drying. The solvent is vaporized while the solute forms a crystal lattice, which is treated and subjected to analysis which permits an estimate of the original droplet dimensions.
