Smart Ultrasonic Homogenizer 950 W with UV-Sterilized Enclosure
The SCIENTZ-950E is an intelligent probe-type ultrasonic homogenizer from the E series, the general-purpose model for small and medium sample volumes. It provides 5–950 W of continuously adjustable ultrasonic power and processes sample volumes from 100 µl to 600 ml, depending on the selected probe. Built on a proven conventional platform, the E series adds network communication, remote printing, UV sterilization and a fully automatic soundproof enclosure.
The instrument disrupts a wide range of animal and plant tissues, cells and bacteria and is equally suited to emulsification, separation, dispersion, extraction, cleaning and acceleration of chemical reactions in life science, materials science and environmental research.
Key Features
- Network control – wireless or RJ-45 interface for communication with a PC, remote control and remote printing
- Advanced control electronics – microcomputer control with DSP and ARM technology for stable performance and precise data
- Automatic frequency tracking – impedance adaptation and self-adaptive operation in the 20–25 kHz range
- 7-inch TFT touch screen – displays amplitude, power, temperature, pulse mode and working/interval time
- Flexible operation – pulsed or continuous mode, pulse adjustable from 0.1 to 99.9 s
- Data storage – up to 20 operating programs with user password protection
- Safety – self-diagnostics, over-temperature, overload and time alarms
- Smart soundproof enclosure – lighting, UV sterilization, door lock and electric lift base; stackable on the generator to save bench space
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.
