High Frequency Titanium Horn Ultrasonic Cell Disruption 40Khz 100W

40Khz 100W High frequency ultrasonic cell disruption machine, Titanium hom

Parameter:

An ultrasonic cell disruptor (or ultrasonic homogenizer) is a device used in biological, chemical, and industrial laboratories to break open cells and disrupt their structure using high-frequency sound waves. The process involves creating ultrasonic vibrations that induce cavitation in liquids, leading to mechanical shearing forces that break cells apart and release their contents.

How It Works

• Cavitation: High-frequency sound waves produce microscopic bubbles in the liquid, which rapidly expand and collapse, generating intense pressure and shear forces. These forces disrupt cell membranes and break them open.

• The process also causes the release of cellular contents, such as proteins, nucleic acids, or organelles.

Applications

1. Biology and Biochemistry:

• Cell lysis for DNA, RNA, or protein extraction.

• Homogenizing tissue samples.

2. Pharmaceuticals:

• Preparing emulsions and dispersions.

• Particle size reduction.

3. Nanotechnology:

• Dispersing nanoparticles in suspensions.

• Breaking down aggregates.

4. Chemical Synthesis:

• Enhancing reactions that benefit from high-energy environments.

5. Food and Beverage:

• Emulsification and mixing.

Key Components

1. Ultrasonic Generator: Produces high-frequency electrical energy.

2. Transducer: Converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations.

3. Probe (or Horn): Transfers ultrasonic vibrations into the sample, often made of titanium for durability.

4. Sample Chamber: Holds the liquid or cell suspension to be treated.

Advantages

• Efficient for small-scale and precise operations.

• Rapid and easy to use.

• Minimal sample contamination (with proper maintenance).

• Compatible with a wide range of sample types.
