Degassing

The sound waves propagating from sonicators into liquid media lead to alternating low-pressure and high-pressure cycles. Throughout low-pressure cycles, a large number of bubbles are generated leading to a high bubble surface-area, with dissolved gas migrating inside these vacuum bubbles. The sonication waves eventually shake the bubbles off the vessel’s surfaces, forcing smaller bubbles that are resting below the liquid surface to rise through, thus releasing the entrapped gas to the environment. Degassing using an ultrasonic homogenizer which offers a quicker alternative to using an ultrasonic bath.

At Qsonica, we offer a wide variety of Sonicators and their accessories that are reliable, powerful, and proven, to enable to choose a system that can fit both your application, and budget.

Product applications

• Preparation of samples prior to the measurement of particle size to avoid measurement errors
• Degassing of oil and lubricants before pumping to decrease pump wear caused by cavitation
• Reduction of microbial growth in liquid foods to increase shelf life
• Degassing of different varnishes and polymer before curing, application, and vacuum insertion
• Preparation of mobile phases for chromatography
