The short answer: Absolutely. They are the industry-standard tool for this critical analysis.
As the perception of e-cigarettes shifts from a harmless alternative to a significant public health concern, the need for precise, scientific testing has never been greater. While often tar-free, the presence of addictive nicotine and other harmful compounds demands rigorous measurement.
This is where Cambridge Filter Pads come in. The process is both straightforward and scientifically robust:
- Capture: The 44mm glass fiber pad, placed in a holder, traps total particulate matter and nicotine from the aerosol generated by a smoking or vaping machine.
- Analysis: The collected sample is then analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to accurately quantify substance levels.
For data to be reliable and defensible, these consumables must meet stringent standards. Our filter pads conform to ISO 3308 and CORESTA (CRM81), guaranteeing over 99.9% filtration efficiency—the benchmark for quality.
Beyond e-cigarette analysis, their application is extensive. These versatile pads are a cornerstone component in a wide range of quality control and R&D processes, from material testing for tobacco to critical air sampling and ensuring packaging integrity.
As global regulations tighten, the integrity of your data starts with the quality of your consumables. Ensuring accuracy is key to consumer safety and compliance.
