What are the differences between A-Type, C-Type and K-Type Nebulizers?
The A-type nebulizer was the original concentric nebulizer developed, and has an internal capillary ground flush to the nose. The technology has since evolved into a C-type neb. which has an internal capillary slightly recessed with regard to the nose resulting in a higher tolerance for dissolved solids and a more consistent aerosol making it much preferred over the older A-Type. Sometime after this, there was a push to consume less argon and so the K-type neb. was developed which functions much like a C-type but uses only 0.7 liter/minute of argon as opposed to the 1 liter/minute of argon the C-types use.
