Description
The SonoStep combines ultrasonication, stirring and pumping of samples in a compact design. It is easy to operate and can be used to deliver sonicated samples to analytic devices, e.g. for particle size measurement.
Ultrasonication helps to disperse agglomerated particles for the preparation and analysis of particle dispersions and emulsions. This is important, when measuring particle size, for example by dynamic light scattering or laser light diffraction.
Simple and Effective
The application of ultrasonic power to a recirculated sample requires four components: a stirred vessel, an ultrasonic generator and transducer and a pump. All components are connected by hoses or pipes. The schematic to the right shows a typical setup.
The SonoStep integrates ultrasonic power and a centrifugal pump into an agitated stainless steel beaker. Click at the graphic to the right for a schematic drawing. The SonoStep is connected to the analytical device – that’s it.
