  • Page 3: Introduction Of The Inhalation Exposure System (Ies)

    INTRODUCTION OF THE INHALATION EXPOSURE SYSTEM (IES): The Inhalation Exposure System (IES) is an instrument manufactured by Glas-Col that provides reproducible animal exposure to droplet-borne contaminates and infectious agents. It produces deep-lung infections that more closely simulate real-world circumstances. The system allows you to vary the concentration of airborne pathogens, the rate of airflow and the length of exposure, so experiments can be reproduced accurately.

  • Page 4: Unpacking

    UNPACKING: The Inhalation Exposure System is normally shipped via truck freight or by movers experienced in handling delicate equipment. 1. Open the door and carefully remove the contents of the chamber. Remove and discard empty cartons used as spacers and packing material wedged around the basket.
