Branson Sonifier 250 Ultrasonic Cell Disruptor

The Branson Sonifier 250 Cell Disruptor efficiently converts AC line voltage into 20kHz electrical energy. This energy is directed through an inverter, transforming it into precise mechanical vibrations. At its core, the transducer utilizes a lead zirconate titanate electrostrictive element, which expands and contracts in response to alternating current. These longitudinal vibrations are transmitted to a horn tip submerged in a solution, inducing cavitation and vigorous molecular agitation.

The Sonifier offers both Pulsed and Continuous modes. Pulsed Mode delivers ultrasonic vibrations at varying pulse durations from 0.1 to 0.9 seconds per second, ensuring processing at peak ultrasonic intensity even under rising temperatures. This is particularly advantageous for handling warm, volatile, or temperature-sensitive samples. Continuous Mode enables uninterrupted operation, providing flexibility for diverse laboratory applications. This advanced device excels in sample preparation, cell disruption, nanoparticle dispersion, mixing, homogenization, DNA extraction, cell lysis, and protein extraction, making it indispensable in research settings.
