Quantification of Cigarette Smoke Particle Deposition In Vitro Using a Triplicate Quartz Crystal Microbalance Exposure Chamber
Figure 1
British American Tobacco’s standard exposure chamber used for in vitro exposures to whole smoke at the air-liquid interface was modified to accommodate the 3 QCM units. The picture shows a top view of the 3-in-1 QCM exposure chamber base (crystal cm; cell support insert cm). QCM position 1 is proximal to the passive exhaust port *. QCM positions 2 and 3 are distal to the exhaust port and behind position 1 on the right and left, respectively.
