Who ARE Labs is

An independent aerosol science company

Aerosol Research and Engineering Labs (ARE Labs) is an independent aerosol science company founded in March 2009 and based in Overland Park, Kansas. The company exists to answer aerosol, spray, inhalation, particle, formulation, and bioaerosol questions that need careful study setup rather than a stock checklist.

ARE Labs brings biological aerosols, pharmaceutical chemistry and formulation, genomic analysis, particle sizing and plume geometry, and inhalation work under one roof, supported by an in-house Custom Build Shop and 17 years (since March 2009) of aerosol science work.

The laboratory brings scientists, engineers, formulation staff, and QA reviewers together to connect study setup, measurements, and conclusions in one reviewable record.
