Branson Sonifier

Cell disruption, homogenization, and emulsification as induced by the Sonifier cell disruptor is the result of cavitation, created by ultrasonic vibrations. The converter transmits vibration through the horn and into the sample to be processed through this cavitation. The ultrasonic vibrations transmited through the horn can also be applied directly or indirectly to samples, using a variety of specifically designed horns, tips, chambers, or cup horns.

Branson Sonifier digital products take advantage of benefits of digital technology. This is particularly useful where precise process control and parameter measurement is required. These 20 kHz units include automatic amplitude control, broad-band tuning, and enhanced features.

Each model consists of a power supply, a converter, and a probe. The converter changes standard electrical power to high frequency mechanical energy, which is then applied to the probe, where it is further amplifed for use with the sonifer.

Sonifier^® S-250D digital ultrasonic processor includes the same features as the analong units, but also offers these additional operator benefits:

• 200 Watt (S-250D)
• Sample rane to 300mL
• Autotune plus Memory (AT/M) – provides fully-automatic tuning and stores frequency at the end of each cycle
• Multiple mode operation – continuous, pulsed, timed, and temperature end-point
• Setup menu in five languages
• Digital parameter setting with valid paramter range checking
• Digital timer (9 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds)
• Amplitude is adjustable from 10-100%
• User I/O offers remote start/stop control and teh ability to view temperature, amplitude, and power values during experiments
• Automatic end-of-cycle shutoff using limit parameters
• Self diagnostics on start-up
• Twenty user-programmed presets for convenience
