Horns (probes) are essential components for Q500 and Q700 Sonicators, designed to facilitate efficient sample processing through cavitation. These titanium-made probes transmit ultrasonic vibrations to liquids, where cavitation creates the mechanical action needed for applications such as cell disruption, homogenization, and nanoparticle dispersion.
Key Features
- Titanium Construction:
- Durable and capable of withstanding high-intensity vibrations.
- Tip Diameter Variability:
- Different diameters support varying sample volumes and sonication intensities.
- Replaceable vs. Solid Tips:
- Replaceable Tips: Convenient for long-term use, allowing easy replacement when tips are eroded.
- Solid Tips: Suitable for samples with organic solvents or low surface tension liquids, offering better chemical resistance.
- Customizable Amplitude:
- Adjustable amplitudes enable optimization for specific applications.
Comparison Table
| Part # | Tip Type | Processing Volume | Tip Diameter | Amplitude | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4220 | Replaceable | 20–250 mL | 1/2" (12.7 mm) | 120 μm | General sample processing, high intensity |
| 4219 | Solid | 20–250 mL | 1/2" (12.7 mm) | 120 μm | Solvent-based samples, low surface tension |
| 4207 | Replaceable | 50–500 mL | 3/4" (19.1 mm) | 60 μm | Moderate intensity, medium volume samples |
| 4208 | Solid | 50–500 mL | 3/4" (19.1 mm) | 60 μm | Solvent compatibility, medium volume |
| 4210 | Replaceable | 100–1,000 mL | 1" (25.4 mm) | 35 μm | Large volume samples, low intensity |
| 4209 | Solid | 100–1,000 mL | 1" (25.4 mm) | 35 μm | Solvent compatibility, large volume samples |
Selection Guidelines
- Processing Volume:
- Choose a smaller tip diameter for low-volume, high-intensity applications.
- Opt for larger tip diameters for processing larger volumes with lower intensity.
- Material Compatibility:
- Use solid tips for organic solvents or samples with low surface tension liquids to ensure durability.
- Replaceable Tips:
- Ideal for laboratories processing standard aqueous samples, allowing replacement when worn.
- Amplitude Needs:
- Higher amplitudes (e.g., 120 μm) deliver stronger sonication, suitable for challenging applications.
- Lower amplitudes (e.g., 35 μm) are better for delicate or large-volume samples.
Maintenance
- Monitor Tip Condition:
Replace tips regularly to avoid erosion that can impact results and potentially overload the generator. - Choose Replaceable Tips:
Replaceable tips extend the lifespan of probes, offering cost-effective maintenance solutions.
Applications
- Low-Volume, High-Intensity:
- DNA shearing, nanoparticle preparation, and emulsification (20–250 mL).
- Medium-Volume Processing:
- Protein extraction and homogenization (50–500 mL).
- Large-Volume Samples:
- Environmental testing, pharmaceutical formulations, and material processing (100–1,000 mL).
The selection of the right probe ensures efficient and reproducible sonication results tailored to the application and sample type.
