Branson Sonifier^® ultrasonic cell disruptor / homogenizers

Branson Sonifier^® ultrasonic cell disruptor / homogenizers are versatile laboratory units suitable for a broad range of liquid processing applications.

Each model consists of a power supply, a converter, and a mechanical probe or horn. The power supply/converter changes standard electrical power to high frequency mechanical energy, which is then applied to the horn, where it is further amplified for use (often with specialized accessories).

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

Sonifier^® S-250A analog ultrasonic processor includes many features to make the technician’s work easier.

• 200 Watt (S-250A)
• Auto tuning for optimum performance under varying conditions
• Power output control to match power to the application
• Continuous or timed (0-15 minutes) operation to free technician for other activities
• Pulsed mode to minimize heat generation in thermally-sensitive samples
• Broad process range from 1ml to over 300 ml per sample
• Power output meter to monitor power and permit reproducibility
• Compact design limits required counter space
• Sloped front control panel for visibility and easy control access
• Includes a high-efficiency converter which requires no internal cooling
• Supplied with a standard 1/2″ titanium horn that is suitable for many applications
• A wide range of dedicated accessories to meet special needs
