2.1 Principle of Operation

The Sonifier system is often used by laboratory personnel in the medical and chemical process fields. The system consists of three core elements: the Sonifier power supply, the converter and horn. The system can also interface with a temperature probe, and user custom digital control interface.

Figure 2.1 The Sonifier Power Supply

The Sonifier power supply converts AC line voltage to 20 kHz or 40 kHz electrical energy. This high-frequency electrical energy is fed to the converter where it is converted to mechanical vibrations. The heart of the converter is an electrostrictive element which, when subjected to an alternating voltage, expands and contracts. The converter vibrates in a longitudinal direction and transmits the motion to the horn tip immersed in the solution, which causes cavitation.

The implosion of microscopic bubbles or cavities in the solution results, causing the molecules in the medium to become intensely agitated.

The Sonifier system is a constant amplitude device. As the load or pressure on the horn face increases, the Sonifier system develops more power to maintain the amplitude for any given output control setting. When the horn is operated in air, it is subjected to minimum pressure, and minimum power is required to maintain amplitude.

The load increases when the horn is immersed in a liquid; the more viscous the liquid, the higher the load and the more power developed. If a flow-through cell that can be pressurized is used, thereby increasing pressure on the horn, even more power is developed. For any given application, more power results when a horn of higher amplitude or larger radiating surface is used, or when any horn is driven at higher amplitude.

14 100-412-194 REV. 01

By setting various operation parameters, you can precisely control the way in which ultrasonics are applied to the samples or liquids for processing. You can:

• Specify the time duration of the ultrasonic processing

• Specify the amount of energy you want to deliver to the sample or liquid during processing

• Adjust the amplitude setting between 10% and 100% of maximum amplitude (microtip 70% maximum)

• Prevent excessive temperature increase in the sample or liquid by setting ultrasonics to operate in Pulse mode or pausing the ultrasonic cycle

• Bring a sample or liquid to a desired temperature and hold it there, varying by only a few degrees, for a desired duration using the Pulse Temperature mode

• Set the maximum allowable temperature in the sample or liquid, so that ultrasonics will stop automatically when the specified temperature is reached

NOTICE

Some operations require the optional temperature probe.

100-412-194 REV. 01 15

2.2 Front Panel Controls and Indicators

This section describes the controls that you use to operate the Sonifier power supply. These controls allow for accuracy and repeatability of control settings. A detailed description of how and when to use each front panel control, the valid formats for the data that you enter, and the response you receive from the system when you use each of these controls is provided in

The Sonifier power supply is equipped with a keypad and LCD on the front panel of the unit. With the keypad, you can set functional modes of operation and control parameters. Availability of the v arious functions depends on the control mode or state of the system. If an error condition exists, the Alarm/Error icon will flash and the beeper will sound three times.

Some functions of the Sonifier power supply can be controlled through the external input connector located on the rear of the unit. 2.3 Back Panel Connections describes the back panel of the unit.

Particularly useful for processing small volumes, microtips are available in sev eral designs, tapered and stepped, to meet your application requirements. A coupling section may be used with a microtip horn for certain applications.

Figure 5.1 Double Step Microtip

NOTICE

Do not use the double step microtip with the disruptor horn.

Figure 5.2 Tapered Microtip

Figure 5.3 Disruptor Horn

NOTICE

DO NOT allow the horn or microtip to contact lab stands, beakers, test tubes or similar

objects. Microtip failure may result. Breakage of glassware may result in the loss of a specimen.

Disruptor horns are the base for many microtip applications. Disruptor horns are threaded so that they may also be inserted into a flow-thru chamber attachment (see 5.2.7 Flow-

Thru Horn). When threaded together, a closed chamber is formed between the Tissue

Disruptor and the cavity of the flow-thru attachment. The tissue disruptor may also be used alone.

The tapered microtip attaches directly to a standard 1/2 inch tapped disruptor horn. The amplitude at the end of a tapered tip is three and one-half times greater than that of the standard horn. The tapered tip is recommended for difficult applications such as spores, fungi, yeast, muscle, and connective tissue. Excellent results can be achieved on volumes ranging from 3 to 20 ml in a comparatively short period of time. The diameters of the tapered microtips are 1/8 inch (3.2 mm), 3/16 inch (4.8 mm), and 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).

32 100-412-194 REV. 01

The stepped microtip is a two-piece unit, consisting of a coupling section and a lower double-step tip. Because the coupling section is attached directly to the converter, the standard disruptor horn must be removed prior to using the stepped microtip. Recommended for use on extremely small volumes, the stepped microtip can be used to treat volumes ranging from 0.5 to 20 ml. Applications for this tip include red and white blood cells, tissue culture cells, HeLa cells, and the complete range of cells that have low to medium resistance to breakage.

To prevent foaming or aerosoling while processing small quantities with the tapered or stepped microtips, the use of a conical-shaped tube such as a reaction vial or a cut down centrifuge tube is recommended.

NOTICE

When using microtips, do not exceed a maximum Amplitude Control setting of 70%. The microtip will break if driven at higher amplitudes.

5.2.5 Tissue Disruptor

Designed for disintegration of difficult tissues, this stainless steel accessory has a specially constructed cell bottom that holds up to six grams of tissue. A water jacket may be provided for cooling.

100-412-194 REV. 01 33

5.2.6 Cup Horn

Figure 5.4 Cup Horn

Cavity

Cup horns allow materials to be treated in small vials or test tubes without immersing the ultrasonic horn or microtip in the material, thereby providing completely sterile conditions. A cup horn is attached directly to the converter, and the assembly is mounted upsidedown on the lab stand with the cup horn at the top. With chilled water in the cup horn, test tubes are suspended in the cup with the contents of the tubes just below the water level. Ultrasonic energy is then conducted from the surface of the horn, through the water and test tube walls, to the contents of the tube.

Some energy loss may occur when applying ultrasonics in this indirect way, and processing can take longer than if the ultrasonic horn were immersed directly in the solution.

Cup Horn

Inlet / Outlet

There are two types of cup horn, a high intensity unit that will accommodate a single test tube, and a larger unit for multiple test tubes. The high intensity cup horn has a concave bottom that focuses the ultrasonic energy on the bottom of the tube. The larger unit, with a diameter of two or three inches, allows the immersion of multiple test tubes. The larger cup horns have clear plastic walls, which permit easy viewing of the activity in the tubes during processing. Both types of cup horn are designed to allow chilled water to circulate through the cup to prevent heating of the solution as a result of the ultrasonic activity.

NOTICE

The bottom of the test tubes should not be in contact with the surface of the ultrasonic horn. Such contact could cause breakage and loss of sample.

34 100-412-194 REV. 01

5.2.7 Flow-Thru Horn

Figure 5.5 Flow-Thru Horn

Inlet / outlet

The flow-thru horn has two inputs or orifices at the non-vibrating, nodal point of the horn. A pre-mixed substance is fed through one of the inputs while the horn is ultrasonically activated. Because two inputs are available, two different types of material can be treated simultaneously for mixing or emulsifying. The processed solution exits at the tip of the horn. The horn can be used as a continuous-flow device to collect the solution in one large vessel.

This attachment, which is screwed onto the disruptor horn, permits continuous processing of low-viscosity materials at rates of up to 38 liters per hour. Designed primarily for emulsifying, dispersing, and homogenizing, the attachment will disrupt most cells, with the exception of the more difficult species. The materials being treated can be passed through the attachment more than once to obtain desired results. For cooling, a water jacket with input, output, and overflow connections is provided.

5.2.9 Rosett Cell

The Rosett Cell, made of borosilicate glass, has a conical shape with three side arms, through which the solution is driven by pressure produced from vibrations from the ultrasonic horn, thereby exposing the substance to ultrasonic energy repeatedly during circulation. When the Rosett Cell is immersed in a cooling bath, the enlarged glass surface area and circulation through the side arms provide an efficient means of heat exchange.

The Rosett Cell is available in three sizes: 8-25 ml, 25-180 ml, and 35-300 ml.

5.2.10 Flow-Thru Rosett Cell

The Flow-Thru Rosett Cell is equipped with its own water cooling jacket, with intake and output connections for continuous processing and a double chamber for cooling. Normally, adequate cooling can be achieved by connection to the cold water tap or by using a closed circuit system. An ice/salt water solution will maintain a temperature below 0C. Since the double chamber is made of glass, the substance can be easily observed during treatment. The Flow-Thru Rosett Cell is not suited for difficult cells.

5.2.11 Soundproof Enclosure

Although ultrasound is above the normal range of human hearing, audible sound sometimes occurs when liquids are treated ultrasonically, especially due to cavitation produced by ultrasonic vibration. The Soundproof Enclosure can be used to reduce this to an acceptable level. It is especially useful when the Sonifier system is used for extended periods of time.

The soundproof enclosure is also useful at minimizing splashing while the ultrasonic cycle is running. Cooling within the enclosure may be required for certain applications. Detail of the enclosure may vary from those depicted below.
