    Aerosol Gpat Notes

    Particle size in inhalation aerosols can be determined using cascade impaction or light scattering decay techniques. Containers for aerosols must withstand certain pressures depending on their material. Metal containers can withstand pressures of 140-180 psig at 130°F while glass is less than 18 psig at 70°F. Propellants are identified using techniques like infrared spectroscopy or gas chromatography and can be soluble gases like CO2, liquefied gases, or compressed insoluble gases. Valve delivery volumes are evaluated based on DOT guidelines with volumes less than 54μl having an acceptance criteria of ±15%.
