Bandelin Ultrasonic Homogenizers

BANDELIN SONOPULS ultrasonic homogenizers, available in the HD 4000 and HD 5000 series, are used for homogenizing, deagglomerating, emulsifying, suspending, accelerating chemical reactions and slurrying cells, bacteria, fungi or spores, with greatly reduced process times and quickly available, reproducible results that make them indispensable for modern processing and analytics. The AMPLICHRON circuit guarantees a constant amplitude independent of changing conditions, with amplitude control adjustable from 10-100%, while sonotrodes transmit the mechanical vibrations into the sample and an ultrasonic transducer converts electrical energy from the generator into these mechanical vibrations. Cavitation bubbles generated by the ultrasound create high shear forces that break up cells, with the desired degree of disintegration set simply by varying sonication duration, and a level indicator ensures safe, accurate filling of the unit.
