Preparation of emulsions, suspensions, and drug delivery systems.
Use ultrasound for your industrial liquid-processing applications.
How it works
- 01
A piezoelectric transducer converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations.
- 02
These vibrations are amplified through a horn (sonotrode).
- 03
The horn is immersed in the liquid or sample, delivering high-frequency ultrasonic waves.
- 04
The resulting cavitation effect generates microscopic shockwaves that disrupt particles, break cells, and mix substances at the molecular level.

Common questions
- How is an ultrasonic horn processor different from an ultrasonic bath?
- Unlike ultrasonic baths that deliver indirect energy through water, horn processors transmit ultrasonic energy directly into the sample, resulting in higher intensity and efficiency.
- Can ultrasonic horn processors be used for delicate biological samples?
- Yes, by adjusting amplitude and using pulsed sonication, cell disruption can be performed without damaging sensitive biomolecules.
- What materials are horns (sonotrodes) made of?
- Horns are typically made from titanium or stainless steel, depending on the application.
- Are these systems scalable for industrial production?
- Yes. Ralsonics offers lab-scale benchtop units as well as high-power industrial processors.
