Ultrasonic Cleaners
Devices employing ultrasonic waves to homogenize samples, particularly cells/subcellular structures in suspension; also includes accessories and support devices such as power options, probes, sound enclosures, and more.
Sonication uses sound waves to disrupt substances. An electrical signal is converted into a vibration that can mix solutions, dissolve solids into liquids, and remove dissolved gas from liquids. When sound waves at ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz) are used, the process is called ultrasonification.Sonication is used in the pharmaceutical, food and pesticide, and cosmetic industries as well as for inks, paints, and coatings, wood and wood treatment, and metalworking. Other uses include: breaking up soil aggregates; nanoparticle, nanoemulsion, or nanocrystal production; wastewater purification; de-gassing; extracting seaweed polysaccharides, plant oils, anthocyanins, and antioxidant; biofuel production; de-sulfuring crude oils; and extracting microfossils from rock.
