As {\textquotedblleft}interactive{\textquotedblright} devices are developed, testing on the bench becomes more sophisticated and demanding. The present review begins with simple in vitro testing techniques and addresses their ability to predict in vivo deposition. Advances in technology are reviewed and control of delivery in vivo is demonstrated.}, issn = {0020-1324}, URL = {https://rc.rcjournal.com/content/50/9/1151}, eprint = {https://rc.rcjournal.com/content/50/9/1151.full.pdf}, journal = {Respiratory Care} }
