Products
SUPRAER-CA Model 3 is a versatile aerosol generator. It is primarily designed for laboratory generation of concentrated aerosols within the 1 to 10 micron particle size range (see Technology). When used without the concentrator it can generate nanoparticles and non-flammable vapors.
The particle size generated can be tailored by changing a) the nozzle used b) the concentration of the solute/sol in the aqueous carrier solution and the nozzle pressure.
SUPRAER-CA Model 3 has the CE mark and the Nemko safety mark for the US and Canada for continuous laboratory operation.
Each SUPRAER comes with its Unique Identifaction Code and label according to MIL SPC-130.
Output cones are available for connection to 1/2 inch, 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch OD diameter pipes.
The optional syringe pumps and syringes are especially suited for use with SUPRAER. KAER can not endorse the use of standard disposable syringes for use with SUPRAER.
Compressed dry air at 60 psi and 200 l/min is required for the operation of SUPRAER-CA. The recommended compressor can be purchased from KAER.

Services
KAER provides aerosol generation and delivery services
KAER's expertise and technologies are in the production and processing of aerosols from solutions or sols of large labile molecules. These technologies utilize KAER's proprietary low shear single pass nozzle technology together with rapid low temperature aerosol drying and, where desired, aerosol concentration technologies. These technologies extend the range of molecular weight and viscocity of solutions that can be used to generate aerosols less that 10 micron in diameter that have a narrow size distributions.
Biologics which are good candiates for aerosolozation include, antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, proteins, fusion proteins, surfactant, oligonucleotides, cellular organelles and viruses. KAER’s proprietary aerosol generation technologies are also applicable to the generation of aerosols of cells and cellular organelles.
KAER's services include:
- Determination of ideal processing parameters for each agent
- Spray drying of expensive agents on a small scale (down to 200 microlitres)
- Particle morphology characterization
- High dose rate aerosol delivery for:
- Drug discovery
- Pharmacokinetics
- Pharmacodynamics
- Toxicology
Partnering
KAER partners with Pharma to accelerate the development of more convenient and efficacious treatments of lung diseases.
KAER uses a licensing model to achieve the maximum market penetration of SUPRAER technology for aerosol delivery of labile macromolecules including proteins, peptides, surfactants, oligonucleotides, antibodies, plasmids and liposomes, as well as controlled release matrices of small molecules.
Stakeholder Benefits
SUPRAER provides a new modality for delivering high doses of biotherapeutics and other agents to the lung via inhalation in a convenient manner, without negatively affecting the active agent. For those drugs whose administration is switched from IV to inhalation, all stakeholders impacted by the use of SUPRAER benefit. Pharmaceutical companies making the transition to SUPRAER reap both the financial benefits, as well as corporate benefits from all levels of customer satisfaction and appreciation.

Working Relationship
KAER works with our partners from bench top to clinic to provide the optimum delivery of their agent. During the initial work, KAER optimizes SUPRAER parameters for the aerosol delivery of their compounds. As the product/device combination moves through to the clinical development stages, a customized version of SUPRAER is created for each home use product.
