Entry-Level Ultrasonic Homogenizer for Samples up to 100 ml

Entry-Level Ultrasonic Homogenizer for Samples up to 100 ml

The JY96-IIN is a compact probe-type ultrasonic homogenizer (sonicator) for small sample volumes. With 150 W of adjustable ultrasonic power and a processing range of 10–100 ml, it is well suited to routine cell lysis, tissue disruption and small-scale dispersion or emulsification in research and teaching laboratories.

The instrument is controlled by a central microcomputer and operated via a 7-inch touch screen. Ultrasonic power, pulse length and total time can be set precisely, and a temperature alarm protects heat-sensitive samples during sonication. The JY96-IIN shares its platform with the JY88-IIN, which offers higher power for larger sample volumes.

Key Features

• 7-inch touch screen – intuitive control and clear display of all operating parameters
• Fine power control – ultrasonic power adjustable in 1% steps
• Pulse and continuous operation – with a built-in test function
• Precise timing – ultrasonic time, interval time and total time set with 0.1 s resolution
• Sample protection – temperature alarm (0–99.9 °C) prevents overheating of samples
• Safety – time and overload alarms
• Low noise – soundproof enclosure for quieter laboratory operation

Working Principle

The generator converts mains power into a high-frequency electrical signal that drives a piezoelectric transducer. The resulting mechanical vibration is amplified by a titanium alloy horn and transmitted into the liquid at the probe tip. Rapidly alternating pressure cycles create cavitation bubbles that grow and collapse, generating intense local shear forces and micro-jets. These forces rupture cell walls and membranes, break up agglomerates and accelerate mass transfer and chemical reactions.

Applications of the JY96-IIN Ultrasonic Homogenizer

• Disruption of animal and plant tissues, cells, bacteria, yeasts, viruses and spores
• Extraction of proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids from cell lysates
• DNA and chromatin fragmentation for next-generation sequencing (NGS) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
• Dispersion, emulsification and de-agglomeration of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and rare-earth particles
• Acceleration of dissolution and chemical reactions, degassing and sample cleaning
