Parameters:

Ultrasonic Homogenizer / ultrasonicator/ultrasonic processor

It is also called Ultrasonic homogenizer,processor or diperser. 

A  Sonicator system is comprised of 3 major components: Generator, Converter and Horn (also known as a probe). 

The ultrasonic electronic Generator transforms AC line power to high frequency electrical energy.

The generator features a keypad or buttons which allow the user to control the sonication parameters.The generator provides high voltage pulses of energy at a frequency of 20 kHz that drives a piezoelectric Converter. The converter is a cylindrical device which is connected to the generator by a high voltage cable. The converter transforms electrical energy to mechanical vibration due to the characteristics of the internal piezoelectric crystals.

The vibration is amplified and transmitted down the length of the Probe/Horn.

Probes have threaded ends and attach to the converter.  During operation, the probe’s tip longitudinally expands and contracts.

Amplitude is the distance the tip travels and is dependent on the amplitude setting selected by the user. 

The new model of the SJIA-W

series is integrated with Temperature Monitor optional.

LCD display screen clearly displays all operating parameters and options:

Temperature,time,output power etc.

Temperature monitor to protect sample from overheating.

Features:

FULL AMPLITUDE CONTROL

Amplitude (intensity) is controlled from 1-100% giving a greater degree of resolution and the ability to pinpoint the amplitude needed to effectively process your sample.

PROGRAMMABILITY

Parameters including processing times, pulse on/off and power output ,it can be saved to memory and run by the touch of a button.This new system can restore more than 50 custom program.

PULSE MODE

Adjustable pulse On and Off times to reduce the heat gain in temperature sensitive samples.

AUTO TUNING

The Sonicator digitally tracks frequency changes in the

 converter/ tip assembly caused by load and temperature

changes and maintainelectrical efficiency at all times.

Manual tuning is unnecessary.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING

An optional temperature probe is available for those customers who wish to monitor the temperature of their sample. If the temperature limitis reached, sonication shuts down toprevent overheating

Application:

Biological / Biotech

Sonication is an ideal tool for lysing bacteria, yeast and tissue cells for the extraction of protein,DNA, RNA, and cellular components. DNA shearing (ChIP Assay) is a very common application.

Pharmaceutical

Cell disruption is common in analytical, quality control, and R & D labs to perform numerous functions from mixing and degassing of analytical samples, to cracking open tablets for dissolution tests. Liposomes and emulsions are easily formed by Sonication for microencapsulation purposes in the production of creams and lotions.

Chemical

Sonication accelerates both physical and chemical reactions, creating new fields of research.Major advances in sonochemistry include chemical synthesis of catalysts and new alloys, catalyzing organo-metallic reactions, micro-encapsulation of protein and hydrolyzing esters. The use of sonication provides greater yields, increases overall efficiency, and saves energy.

Industrial

Industrial uses include forming emulsions, catalyzing reactions, extracting compounds, and reducing particle size. Continuous, in-line Flocells and special ultrasonic horns are available for processing larger volumes. Sonication is being used in the Paint and Pigment industry to disperse dyes and inks and in the Ceramic industry to degas slips and create denser castings.

Environmental

Sonication is used by environmental testing labs to process soil and sediment samples.Sonication takes just 8-10 minutes per sample versus 4-18 hours by soxhlet extraction, it uses half the solvent and improves contaminant yields. Both single and dual horn systems are available. If the sample load is high, then a Dual Horn system is recommended because it allows you to process two samples simultaneously.
