MSE Soniprep 150 Ultrasonic Disintegrator

MSE Soniprep 150 Ultrasonic Disintegrator

A benchtop ultrasonic disintegrator enclosed in a purpose-built chamber to reduce residual noise from sonication.

It transmits sound energy to the medium through high frequency vibration at the tip of a probe. The effect of this is to create many series of micro-cavities in the dispersion medium. The rapid alternation of positive and negative pressure produced by the sound waves traveling through the liquid causes these minute gas filled bubbles to disintegrate implosively during the rarefaction phase of the sound pressure wave. This produces intense local shock waves in which the pressure may reach several thousand atmospheres and rapid microstreaming of the liquid around the point of collapse. The intense localised sheer gradients so generated combined, in part, with the transient regions of high pressure, result in the disruptive capabilities of this instrument. The Soniprep 150 can be used for a variety of applications, but is mainly used for the disintegration, disruption and homogenisation of cells and cellular particles. Its use occurs in various environments from biochemistry and microbiology to soil science and polymer research. It has gained a much sort after reputation in this field as being versatile, compact and easy to use.
An amplitumeter is positioned at the front of the Soniprep 150 to monitor the probe amplitude.

The soniprep uses a 23 kHz generator with a feedback loop to accurately maintain excitation levels, and the amplitumeter allows reproducibility between samples.
