Ultrasonic Cell Processors

Product Description:

Ultrasonic cell processors are multifunctional, multipurpose instruments that utilise ultrasonic cavitation in liquids to process materials. They can be used to disrupt animal and plant tissues, cells, and bacteria, as well as for emulsification, separation, dispersion, homogenisation, extraction, cleaning, and accelerated dissolution. They are widely applied in fields such as biochemistry, microbiology, medicinal chemistry, surface chemistry, physical chemistry, and zoology.

The ultrasonic cell processors consist of two main components: an ultrasonic generator and a transducer. The ultrasonic generator produces ultrasonic waves at specific frequencies, typically 20 kHz or 28 kHz. The ultrasonic transducer is an energy conversion device that converts high-frequency electrical energy into mechanical energy. The ultrasonic cell disruptor allows for flexible setting of ultrasonic duration, number of cycles, and other parameters.

FAQ:

Can the process be precisely controlled?

Yes, the ultrasonic cell processors offer precise and flexible process control to ensure consistent and reproducible results. They allow users to adjust key parameters such as processing time, and pulse mode (on/off cycles) to suit different sample types and experimental needs. These controls help optimize cell disruption efficiency while minimizing heat generation from the cavitation effect, ensuring better protection of sensitive biomolecules.

How do you prevent overheating during operation?

Overheating is effectively controlled through a combination of system design and operational settings. Our ultrasonic cell processors use the cavitation effect, which can generate heat during operation, but this is managed in several ways:

Pulse mode operation (on/off cycles) to reduce continuous heat buildup

Adjustable processing time for precise energy input control

External cooling methods, such as an ice bath

These features help maintain low and stable temperatures, ensuring efficient cell disruption while protecting heat-sensitive biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids.
