How to select the proper unit

Power output in watt should not be the only criterion for selecting an ultrasonic homogenizer. This value only indicates the power of the HF-generator but not the energy delivered to the sample. The amplitude at the radiating surface of the probe is the determining factor for the evaluation of the irradiation result while taking into consideration the volume of the sample.

SONOPULS ultrasonic homogenizers produce with the same electric power higher amplitudes than other models in the market thanks to an ideal integration of all components.

Approximate values of life span

When operating in the continuous mode (100 % amplitude setting, no pulsation) in aqueous media and not exceeding more than 1 mm probe erosion at the irradiation surface the following approximate values are to be considered:

Ordering Information:

Probes

Probes made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) transmit mechanical longitudinal waves into the sample. They are thermo-resistant, can be treated in autoclaves and are resistant to corrosive media. Sample volume, diameter of the processing vessel and the required amplitude determine the selection of the unit and the type of probe. The higher the amplitude, the more intense the sonication.

Extended probes VS 70 T / 200 T especially used for sonication of ceramic suspensions or when preparing samples for grain size analysis.

Probe extensions

• VS made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), recommended for long-necked vessels.
  • VS 70 between SH 70 G / 213 G and TT 13 (for HD2070/2200/3080/3200)
  • VS 200 between SH 225 G and TT 25 (for HD2200/3200)
