Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices for delivering a predetermined amount of an active agent to a subject by inclusion of a detector configured to detect the number of insoluble active agent particles in a fluid flowing by the detector. A controller is operably connected to the detector and configured to determine the amount of the active agent to be delivered to the subject based on the number of insoluble active agent particles flowing by the detector. Also provided are methods of using the subject devices for delivering a predetermined amount of an active agent to a subject.
