Cup-Horn Ultrasonic Homogenizer with Chiller Support
The SCIENTZ08-IIIC is a non-contact (cup-type) ultrasonic homogenizer from the SCIENTZ08 series. Samples are disrupted inside sealed containers under sterile conditions and with ultra-low volumes. Compared with a conventional probe sonicator, it processes multiple samples simultaneously, increases experimental efficiency, reduces manual probe handling and prevents cross-contamination between samples.
Delivering 1800 W of ultrasonic power at 20 kHz ± 0.5 kHz into a 900 ml tank, the SCIENTZ08-IIIC is well suited to ChIP and NGS sample preparation, bacterial and cell disruption and the processing of valuable reagents.
Key Features
- Zero contamination – samples are processed in individual sealed tubes, enhancing biosafety
- No probe wear – eliminates debris from conventional probe tips
- High repeatability – adjustable parameters for precise process control
- Rotating holder – continuous automatic rotation of tubes for uniform energy distribution
- Isothermal processing – chiller supported
- Low sample loss – minimum sample volume 5 µl
- Wide applicability – suitable for various standard containers
Working Principle
Ultrasonic energy is generated in a water-filled tank and transmitted through the tube walls into the sealed samples. Cavitation inside the samples shears DNA and chromatin and disrupts cells without any direct contact between the transducer and the sample.
