In the laboratory, sonication can be applied via an ultrasonic probe, also called a sonicator or sonic dismembrator. The probe creates sound waves that produce pressure, causing liquid streaming and rapid bubble formation.

Our family of Probe Sonicators (Ultrasonic Homogenizers) offer precision engineering with all the features necessary to create a total system for ultrasonic disruption. They can disintegrate most cells, bacteria, spores or tissue.

The Q700 Sonicator® is the most technologically advanced ultrasonic processor available today. Improved internal circuitry provides more efficient operation and sample-to-sample consistency, ensuring that you can obtain reliably reproducible results.

Probe sonicators, for instance, are made of three parts in order to agitate particles: 1) generator that provides electronic pulses; 2) converter that transforms the pulses into mechanical vibrations; 3) probe/horn that rests in the sample and transmits the vibrations to it.

Hielscher ultrasonicators are used for lab samples, pilot scale processing or full scale production. This includes ultrasonic processors and probes for the ultrasonication of any liquid volume, from several microliters through hundreds of cubicmeters per hour.
