Deep dive into Aerogen’s unique vibrating mesh technology. Our technology is a breakthrough in aerosol drug delivery1 and is at the heart of all our products.

The Aerogen Solo’s central aperture plate is just 5 mm in diameter and is perforated with 1000 precision-formed holes, that vibrate at 128,000 times per second, to produce consistently sized droplets (1–5 µm).1

Imagination and innovation are at the heart of what we do, driving us to design and create technology that delivers better patient treatment.
