Probes for connection to standard and booster horns
– made of titanium alloy (Ti-AI6-V4) – Probes transmit mechanical longitudinal waves into the sample. They are thermo-resistant, can be treated in autoclaves and are resistant to corrosive media. Sample volume, diameter of the processing vessel and the required amplitude determine the selection of the unit and the type of probe. The higher the amplitude, the more intense the sonication.
Probes achieve an enhanced amplitude caused by their configurations. This is followed by highest ultrasonic power density in liquids. These probes are used for special tasks in laboratories like for cell and bacteria disruption in biology or acceleration of reactions in chemistry.
Titanium flat tips TT are used for sonication of medium sized samples.
Extended probes VS are especially used for treatment of ceramic suspensions or for sample preparation for following grain size determination.
