Description

The Continuous Flow Ultrasonic Homogenizer YR06670, is a full-featured, high-performance apparatus designed for large-scale disintegration and dispersion processes. Featuring a centralized computer control system and a large touch screen, this equipment offers reliable performance and an elegant design. It is specifically engineered for life sciences, material chemistry, and medical fields where precise cell lysis, DNA extraction, or nanomaterial homogenization are required under stable and reproducible conditions.

Design and Technology (or Functionality)

This series is built with advanced digital features to ensure process integrity:

• Full Amplitude Control: Amplitude (intensity) is adjustable from 1-100%, providing a high degree of resolution to identify the exact intensity needed for different sample types.
• Automatic Tuning: The Sonicator digitally tracks frequency changes in the converter/tip assembly caused by load and temperature variations, maintaining electrical efficiency at all times without manual adjustment.
• Pulse Mode: Adjustable pulse on and off times help reduce heat buildup in temperature-sensitive samples.
• Integrated Programmability: Parameters including processing times, pulse cycles, and power output can be saved in memory. The system can store and restore more than 20 custom programs with a single touch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can this unit handle temperature-sensitive samples? Yes. The integrated pulse mode and the optional temperature probe (which shuts down sonication if limits are reached) prevent overheating and sample denaturation.

What materials are used for the probe? The probe is made of a high-grade titanium alloy, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and durability for various chemical and biological applications.

Can it be used for batch processing as well? Yes, the material cup and horn are designed for easy loading and unloading, allowing the unit to be used as a routine ultrasonic cup grinder when continuous flow is not required.

Advantages and Disadvantages (Pros and Cons)

Pros:

• User-Friendly Interface: Large LCD screen clearly displays all operating parameters: temperature, time, and power output.
• Safety Features: Automatic fault alarms and over-temperature protection ensure equipment longevity and sample safety.
• Efficiency: Real-time frequency tracking ensures the highest efficiency regardless of sample viscosity or temperature changes.

Cons:

• External Cooling: While it features a double-cup design for cooling, an external constant temperature bath is required for active, high-precision cooling.
• Power Requirement: High power output (1200W) requires stable electrical supply to maintain consistent performance.

Field Use and Recommendations

This reactor is ideal for Life Sciences (cell fragmentation, protein extraction), Material Chemistry (dispersion of graphene and carbon nanotubes), and Chinese herbal medicine extraction.

• Operational Tip: Use the “LiveAccess” feature for quick loading and unloading to minimize downtime between different sample batches.
• Recommendation: When processing nanomaterials like selenium or carbon nanotubes, start at a lower amplitude and increase gradually to find the optimal dispersion point without damaging the probe.
