SONIFIER®Superiority
Cell Disruption and More
The Sonifier product line, originally established as the benchmark
in cell disruption, has become a liquid processing workhorse in the
laboratory. Applications include:
• Emulsification of immiscible liquids
• Disaggregation and dispersion
• Homogenization
• Chip assay
• Acceleration of reactions
• Cell lysing
• Processing DNA and proteins
• Leaching and extraction
Each Sonifier system consists of a power supply, converter, and
mechanically tuned processing horn. Standard units are available from
100 to 1000 Watts for matching the equipment to your application.
A wide variety of specialized tools, chambers, and accessories are available to
accomplish specific effects. In addition to many standard disruption horn sizes,
Branson offers flow-through horns, high intensity cup horns, biohazard processing
cells, sound reduction enclosures, and much more.
All Sonifier units carry a 2 year worldwide warranty.
Higher Volume Liquid
Processing
Static processing of high liquid volumes or processing
liquids in a continuous stream generally requires greater
ultrasonic power output to maintain appropriate power
density per unit volume per unit time. Branson offers systems
to meet these higher volume applications.
The Sonifier 2000bdc at 1000 Watts can process up to 10
GPM per processing cell. This 20 kHz system passes process fluid through a
confined chamber in close proximity to a high energy ultrasonic horn.

Branson – The Leader in Ultrasound Technology Since 1946
Norman G. Branson founded Branson Instruments in 1946 to harness ultrasonic energy for commercial purposes. In the
continuing quest to introduce new technologies, Branson began marketing a Sonifier®ultrasonic cell disruptor for biological
research in 1960. This has now grown into a full line of products and accessories to meet the demanding needs of this rapidly
expanding market. These Sonifier products joined existing ultrasound businesses in the areas of flaw detection, precision
cleaning, and plastic joining. Today, Branson is a world leader in all of these technologies.
With over 1800 employees, 70 sales and service offices, and a half dozen manufacturing facilities worldwide, Branson has
developed substantial resources for global customer support. Let us put these resources to work for you.

Analog
®
SONIFIER
Branson Sonifier analog products use traditional
analog technology to produce the same reliable
results you have received from Branson for over 60
years. Automatic amplitude compensation provides
constant horn amplitude at different energy levels
encountered during sample processing. The broadband tuning feature precisely adjusts the 20 kHz
output frequency to optimum levels even when
process tooling is changed.
The analog control package includes:
• Autotune plus Memory (AT/M) – provides fully-automatic
tuning and stores frequency at the end of each cycle
• Adjustable output power to meet the needs of each
application
• Energy pulsing to minimize heating of sensitive samples
• Mechanical timer to limit process time while freeing the
operator
• An output meter to monitor process power and provide
for repeatability
All of these features are housed in a rugged,
compact package with slanted front control panel
for clear visibility and easy access. All units are
supplied as an operational package including power
supply, converter, and standard disruptor horn.
Cell Disruptor
Precision Control
Digital
SONIFIER®Cell Disruptor
Branson Sonifier digital products take advantage of
benefits enabled by newer digital technology. This is
particularly useful where precise process control and
parameter measurement is required. These 20 kHz
units include automatic amplitude control, broad-band
tuning, and include enhanced features like:
• Autotune plus Memory (AT/M) – provides fully-automatic
tuning and stores frequency at the end of each cycle
• Multiple mode operation – continuous, pulsed, timed, and
temperature end-point
• Setup menu in five languages
• Digital parameter setting with valid parameter range checking
• Digital timer (9 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds)
• Amplitude is adjustable from 10-100%
• User I/O offers remote start/stop control and the ability to view
temperature, amplitude, and power values during experiments
• Automatic end-of-cycle shutoff using limit parameters
• Self diagnostics on start-up
• Twenty user-programmed presets for convenience
All units have digital controls including a membrane
switch for easy data entry, 10-hour timer, digital wattmeter, 80 character LCD display to monitor parameters,
and much more. The parallel printer interface and
RS-232C serial computer interface add even more utility.
All units are supplied as an operational package including power supply, converter, and standard horn.

SONIFIER®SLP Series
The Branson Sonifier SLP Series – available in both time
and energy (joules) models – are capable of processing today’s
laboratory requirements. Software prevents inappropriate data
entry and sounds an alarm if the process moves outside set limits.
The SLP Series units include the generator/power supply,
converter, 1/8˝ microtip, all interconnects, and an I/O port for
external control. They operate at 40 kHz, 50/60 Hz.
• Autotune plus Memory (AT/M) – provides fully-automatic tuning and
stores frequency at the end of each cycle
• Digital parameter entry for precise, easy setup
• Digital amplitude control allows for critical applications (range from 10%
to 100% in 1% increments)
• Continuous or pulsed operation
• LED readout displays parameter settings during setup and operation for
easy reference and monitoring
• Provides storage of last-used cycle parameters even if the system is shut off
or a power interruption occurs
• Local or remote (p/c) control capability
• Total processing time: 1 second to 99 hours (SLPt unit)
• Adjustable total energy: 1 to 10,000 joules (SLPe unit)
