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.

Where many providers specialize in a single niche, ARE Labs covers the full spectrum of aerosol sciences under one roof: biological aerosols, pharmaceutical chemistry and formulation, genomic analysis, particle sizing and plume geometry, and inhalation work — supported by an in-house Custom Build Shop for bespoke test systems and more than 15 years of work.

This page introduces ARE Labs as a company first: who works here, where the laboratory operates, how studies are run, and why the lab environment is built to support trust in the resulting records.
