The rapid development of alternative nicotine delivery devices demands technical solutions to evaluate the individual products and their emissions. This requirement is enforced and dramatically increased through the introduction of product regulations within many markets and is independent if these are heated tobacco products (HTPs) or e-cigarettes and vaporizers.
The NGX10 offers 10 individual programmable vaping channels for the testing of higher sample amounts of e-cigarettes, vaporizers and heated tobacco products.
All single channels, dedicated port to syringe, of the vaping machine are connectable individually to the predominant trapping systems like Cambridge filter pads, liquid traps (Impingers) or electrostatic precipitation. Optionally each port can be equipped with aerosol detection units to control aerosol flow. The NGX10 gives the opportunity to perform gas analyzes by using gas collection bags. Integrated CO gas analyzers with different CO content measuring ranges, offer a flexible option following ISO 8454. As online, puff by puff analysis becomes more important in the product development, Borgwaldt KC are developing the optional measurement functions of main stream temperature and pressure drop over the sample during the vaping routine. All ports are fitted with integrated freely adjustable sample activation units (button activation) and the sample supporters of various shapes to support and hold a wide range of sizes and shapes of test specimens in the ideal test position. The height adjustable vaping bar can also be tilted in various angles between ±60° to the horizontal with indexing inserts the exact angle of tilt can be reproduced.
