The system being sold in this auction comes complete with the base unit (controller with high voltage ultrasonic power supply) and probe/converter (piezoelectric transducer) with a 1” diameter tip or horn. This is a much more capable unit than many of the smaller, inexpensive, lower-power sonicators being sold.
A variety of optional probes and accessories, including sound abating chambers/enclosures, microtips, continuous flow cells, class cooling cells, temperature probes, extenders, boosters, multi-element probes, cup horns, clamps, stands, etc. are available from:

This unit features a temperature controller function whereby the temperature of the solution is monitored (via optional temperature probe, available in my other Ebay auction) and the ultrasonic power can be terminated when the sample reaches the desired set-point temperature, selected by the user. A pulser function can also be used to provide intermittent operation via a set period. A timer function also keeps track of elapsed time.
Sonicators are useful in: nanotechnology, cell disruption, atomization, disaggregation, cell lysis / lysing, homogenizing, particle size reduction, analytical diagnostics, protein purification, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChiP) Assay, degassing, PMCA, sono-chemistry, liposomes, crystallization, emulsification, leaching, extraction, transesterification, focused cleaning, catalyzing chemical reactions, solubilizing compounds, DNA/Chromatin/RNA shearing, FFPE/DNA/RNA extraction, etc.
Notes: No stand or beaker is included (shown in picture for illustrative purposes only). Thanks for watching!
