Description
The Sonics VCX-1500HV2 Ultrasonic Processor includes a high throughput flow cell. The flow cell throughput rate is typically 100 litres/hour – variables being viscosity and desired degree of processing. The flow cell is recommended for the treatment of low viscosity samples which do not require extended exposure to ultrasonics.
Designed primarily for dispersing and homogenising. For optimum performance, when working on a flow through basis, premixing the sample with a mechanical stirrer is recommended. The flow cell is easily disassembled for inspection and cleaning and is water jacketed to enable the sample to be cooled or heated while it is being processed. All wetted parts are autoclavable. Remote actuation compatible.
Features
Exclusive Energy Setpoint – The energy setpoint continuously monitors the amount of energy in Joules (watts x seconds), that is being delivered to the probe, and terminates the ultrasonics when the desired amount of energy has been dispensed
Wattmeter – Digitally displays the actual amount of power in watts that is being delivered to the probe
Automatic Tuning and Frequency Control – Eliminates the need for constant adjustment of the power supply
Integrated Temperature Controller – Precludes harmful overheating of the sample and guarantees process integrity by terminating the ultrasonics when the sample temperature reaches a predetermined limit. Enables process control and monitoring from 1°C to 100°C
Consistent Reproducibility – Time-saving user-programmed presets store up to ten procedures to facilitate protocol duplication, automate repetitive tasks and eliminate technician-to-technician method variability
Microprocessor Based – Programmable – Digital accuracy and repeatability guarantee adherence to the most exacting protocol
Automatic Amplitude Compensation – Ensures uniform probe amplitude regardless of the varying loading conditions encountered during the processing cycle
On Demand Real Time Display – Provides a window on the process. No more assumptions. No more approximations. Pressing a button enables all set and run parameters to be continuously displayed on the screen, providing instant operating mode confirmation without process interruption
Variable Power Output Control – Allows the ultrasonic vibrations at the probe tip to be set to any desired amplitude. Selected output level is clearly displayed on the screen
Ten Hour Process Timer – Controls the processing time from 1 second to 10 hours
Elapsed Time Indicator – Monitors both the elapsed time and the duration of processing
Independent On/Off Pulser – Enables safe treatment of temperature-sensitive samples at high intensity, and provides mixing by repeatedly allowing the sample to settle back under the probe after each burst. Both on and off cycles are independently controllable from 1 second to 59 seconds
User Friendly – Menu driven fill-in-the-blank prompts provide intuitive guidance through all functions
Continuous Processing – Up to 100 litres per hour, depending on viscosity and degree of processing required
