Microparticles can be present as a contamination of products such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, or as an air pollutant. Within the pharmaceutical industry, it is critical to measure particle size as it influences surface area and porosity, impacting a drug’s bioavailability, effectiveness, and shelf life.

Evidence suggests that API manufacturing is gaining in complexity, as well as sophistication, and therefore adding to the risk profile of drug development. The ingredients used in these drugs are high potency, even at small doses, and pose a risk to both human health and cross-contamination with other drugs in a manufacturing environment.
