Ultrasonic Homogenizer 1000 W with Titanium Transducer
The SCIENTZ-IID is a digital probe-type ultrasonic homogenizer (sonicator) for small and medium sample volumes. It delivers up to 1000 W of ultrasonic power and processes sample volumes from 100 µl to 600 ml, depending on the selected probe. An advanced digital ultrasonic power supply with a DSP processor and digital phase-locked loop (PLL) control provides precise automatic frequency tracking, so the instrument always works at its optimal operating point. Power can be set in watts from 20 to 1000 W, and up to 50 multi-stage programs can be stored.
The SCIENTZ-IID is supplied with a titanium alloy transducer and an automatic soundproof enclosure, making it a versatile tool for cell disruption, emulsification, dispersion, extraction and acceleration of chemical reactions in life science, materials science and environmental laboratories.
Key Features
- Digital power supply – automatic frequency tracking and adaptation to the optimal resonance point, with no manual tuning
- Multi-stage programs – up to 6 stages per program and storage of up to 50 user-defined protocols
- Flexible parameters – ultrasonic power and time adjustable continuously for stable, reproducible processing
- Sample temperature control – built-in temperature sensor with over-temperature alarm to protect heat-sensitive samples
- Safety – over-temperature, time and fault alarms
- Motorized lift stage – precise positioning of the sample with up/down buttons inside the soundproof enclosure
- Visual control – transparent front door and built-in LED lighting for observing the process
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.
