Probe Sonicator

Probe Sonicator

Apply ultrasonic energy directly to your samples.

How it works

  1. 01

    The probe (horn) vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency (typically 20 kHz – 40 kHz) when powered by the generator.

  2. 02

    This creates intense cavitation in the liquid medium, producing microscopic bubbles that implode and release energy.

  3. 03

    The result is cell disruption, particle dispersion, or homogenization, depending on the application.

  4. 04

    With precise controls, users can adjust pulse mode, amplitude, and duration for reproducible results.

Industry applications

A Probe Sonicator (also known as a ultrasonic homogenizer or ultrasonic processor) is a powerful ultrasonic device used to disrupt cells, shear DNA, disperse nanoparticles, and homogenize samples. Unlike bath sonicators, a probe sonicator delivers ultrasonic energy directly into the sample through a titanium probe, ensuring high intensity, controlled cavitation, and maximum efficiency.

Common questions

What is the difference between a probe sonicator and a bath sonicator?
A probe sonicator delivers direct, high-intensity energy into the sample, while a bath sonicator provides gentler, uniform cleaning or mixing across multiple samples.
Can probe sonicators handle small as well as large volumes?
Yes. With different probe sizes, they can process microliters to tens of liters.
Does sonication damage samples?
Sonication can generate heat, but pulse mode and chillers help prevent damage to heat-sensitive samples.
How do I choose the right probe size?
Probe size depends on sample volume, viscosity, and application. Ralsonics experts provide guidance for proper selection.
