Ultrasonic Homogenizer / (Sonicator)

All researchers and technicians in the chemical, biotech, medical and pharmaceutical professions will find themselves stirring or mixing a fluid solution at some point in their career. Some samples in NMR tubes or delicate materials may require an ultrasonic homoginizer – or sonicator – in order to ensure dissolution or the production of small particle sizes to promote reactivity. Homogenizers can be used to break down cell barriers, de-gas solutions, or study the effects of sonic waves on specific substances. These laboratory homogenizers can be either bench-top or hand-held. Sonicators can achieve speeds between 2000 and 35,000 rpms, and can handle sample volumes ranging between .03 mLs and 5 Ls.
