Across International SonoMechanics 600W Ultrasonic Continuous Liquid Processor

Ultrasonic homogenizers, the modern version of "mortar and pestle", they can disrupt tissues and cells through cavitation and ultrasonic waves. Basically, an ultrasonic homogenizer has a tip which very rapidly vibrates, causing bubbles in the surrounding solution to rapidly form and collapse. This creates shear and shock waves which tear apart cells and particles.

Ultrasonic Homogenizers are recommended for homogenization and lysis of laboratory samples that do not require traditional shredding or rotor-stator cutting techniques for processing. Small and large ultrasonic probes are used in a variety of sample volumes to be processed. A solid probe allows for less chance of sample loss and cross-contamination between samples.

Sonication is the act of applying sound energy to agitate particles in a sample, for various purposes. Ultrasonic frequencies (around 20 kHz) are usually used, leading to the process also being known as ultrasonication or ultra-sonication. In the laboratory, it is usually applied using an ultrasonic bath or an ultrasonic probe, colloquially known as a sonifier.

Sonication can be used for the production of nanoparticles, such as nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, liposomes and wax emulsions, as well as for wastewater purification, degassing, extraction of plant oil, extraction of anthocyanins and antioxidants, production of biofuels, crude oil desulphurization, cell disruption, polymer and epoxy processing, adhesive thinning, and many other processes. Sonication is also commonly used in nanotechnology for evenly dispersing nanoparticles in liquids.

LSP-600 in Continuous Flow-Through Mode

The LSP-600 600 watts bench-scale ultrasonic liquid processor from Industrial SonoMechanics

Features

• The LSP-600 ultrasonic liquid processor is most commonly supplied with a 600 W ultrasonic generator, air-cooled transducer, and full-wave Barbell Horn®. Optional items include a flow-through reactor chamber (flow cell), conventional horn, microtips and support stand.
• The LSP-600 processor can be used in batch and flow-through configurations (see schematics on the left). Details are available under the SPECIFICATIONS tab.
• The LSP-600 processor utilizes patented Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT), which makes it possible to generate extremely high ultrasonic amplitudes at any scale of operation. By upgrading to our larger BHUT-based units, the BSP-1200 or ISP-3000, any process optimized with the LSP-600 can be directly scaled-up to a pilot or industrial production environment, while maintaining the same processing conditions and reproducible results.
