Nankai University Implements Mask Filtration Efficiency Testing Instrument

Client Background

Nankai University (NKU), directly administered by the Ministry of Education of China, is a top-tier institution included in the 211 and 985 Projects and recognized as a World-Class University. With a comprehensive academic structure spanning humanities, law, economics, management, science, engineering, medicine, education, and arts, NKU is also part of major national initiatives such as the 2011 Plan, 111 Plan, Everest Plan, and Excellence in Legal Education Program.

The university’s School of Medicine hosts multiple integrated teaching laboratories, modern multimedia classrooms, and a medical experimental teaching center equipped with over a thousand instruments. The medical school building covers 15,000 m² and includes a dedicated animal center, ensuring a robust environment for advanced research and teaching.

Project Overview

Nankai University recently procured a Mask Automatic Filtration Efficiency Tester for its School of Medicine. The instrument is primarily used for research and development of new high-efficiency mask materials, a critical need given the growing concerns over air pollution and public health worldwide. This advanced testing capability supports innovation in mask filtration technology and ensures that newly developed materials meet rigorous safety and performance standards.
