Medical Research

Cambustion's gas and particle measurement instruments support a growing range of medical research applications, helping researchers and clinicians understand how therapies and protective equipment perform in practice.

Inhaled Nitric Oxide Therapy

Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is one of the most widely used gas therapies in medicine, prescribed to both hospitalized and ambulatory patients across a range of doses. Because nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator that improves oxygenation, while its byproduct nitrogen dioxide is toxic if not carefully controlled, safe and effective therapy depends on accurate, real-time gas monitoring. Cambustion's fast NO/NO₂ analysers, and the RespiraNOx accessory developed with Massachusetts General Hospital, give researchers breath-by-breath insight into dosage and safety during iNO studies.

Face Mask Testing

Respiratory protection became a major focus of public health research following COVID-19, driving demand for rigorous, standardised ways to assess how well face coverings filter airborne particles across the full range of sizes produced by breathing, talking, coughing and singing. Cambustion's aerosol classification and particle counting instruments allow researchers to characterise mask and filter material performance with high precision. Learn more →

Broader Capabilities

Beyond these applications, Cambustion's instruments also support real-time measurement of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapour and nanoparticles, extending their use across a wide range of respiratory and inhalation research.
