Nanotechnology

Ultrasonic processors have become standard equipment for dispersing and deagglomerating nanoparticles. Probe sonication is a highly effective means of creating dispersions capable of remaining in suspension for.... Full Article

ChIP Assay

Sonicators are commonly used for ChIP Assay and DNA shearing. The most common method is to insert a microtip probe directly into a sample. At Qsonica, we call this direct probe sonication. Energy is transmitted from the probe directly into the.... Full Article

Wire Die Cleaning

A major wire manufacturer in North Carolina had a problem with effectively cleaning wire dies. For many years they had been using the XL-2000 model and it worked well. The technician held the die in water and directed the hand-held probe at the center of the die. This method was very effective but labor intensive and time consuming.

Wire manufacturing is a very dirty process which requires a lot of water and grease. Exposure to water and grease is dangerous for any electrical device. The XL-2000 unit required regular service to clean and fix shorted-out components due to moisture in the air. A sonicator is a high voltage device and a wet environment is not recommended.

The company needed help. Cleaning dies was taking too much time and they were spending too much money on maintaining the equipment. Misonix Sonicators analyzed the process and the work area. We devised a plan to water proof the generator and converter and customized a Sonicator with a Dual Horn and a rotating holder for the dies.

This enabled the manufacturer to clean 8 dies per minute rather than their manual process of only one per minute. In addition, we eliminated down time and costly repairs associated with the older process.

Custom Applications

Misonix Sonicators has the ability to produce horns in many shapes and sizes to handle unique situations. For example, we have the 96P Horn with 96 individual tips which is capable of directly sonicating a 96-well microtiter plate.

Please contact us regarding your application and we can see if a custom probe may help.
