A wide range of probes for a variety of applications is available, including stepped and tapered microtips and also probes for processing in microplates.

• Multi-element probes for deep well microplates
• Cuphorns for non invasive sonication of samples
• Continouous flow cells for dispersing and homogenising large volumes of low viscosity samples where extended exposure to ultrasonics is not desirable
• Footswitch for hands-free operation
• Sound abating enclosures - reduce noise and act as a containment facility

Probes for processing in microplates:
The multi-element probes are specifically designed for processing up to 96 deep well plates as well as 1,5/2,0 ml microtubes and 10 ml test tubes. Although originally designed for genomic and proteomic applications, these probes can also be used for cell and tissue fractionation, toxicity studies, sample preparations, ELISAs, enzymology, protein purification for RNA, DNA, PCR labelling, hybridisation, receptor binding studies, preparation of liposomes, micro emulsions, extractions, desegregation and dissolution.

Unlike ultrasonic baths, or microplate horns, the probes deliver the intensity directly into the sample, not through the microplate walls and unlike single probes with grooved protrusions, these composite probes act as mechanical amplifiers. These 20 kHz multi-element probes consist of a coupler and multiple 3 mm replaceable stepped microtips, spaced 18 mm apart. The complete assembly is approximately 260 mm long.

The probes can be mounted onto a heavy duty laboratory stand or incorporated into an automated X - Y positioning system to satisfy high throughput requirements.
