ULTRASONIC CELL DISRUPTION
Explore probe-based cell disruption, larger-batch processing and dedicated chromatin or DNA shearing. Compare seven systems by sample format, working volume and control requirements.
START WITH THE SAMPLE
Ultrasound generates cavitation in a liquid. The appropriate system depends on the biological sample, the desired recovery and how ultrasonic energy reaches the sample.
A probe transfers ultrasonic energy directly into the liquid. Laboratory systems cover routine cell disruption, homogenization and suitable nucleic acid shearing applications, with probe selection matched to volume.
Compare laboratory systems →A dedicated cooled system processes chromatin and DNA in commercially available tubes. Rack format, sample volume and desired fragment size guide the configuration.
Explore DNA & chromatin shearing →Higher-power systems support application-dependent larger volumes. Direct probes and available flow-cell configurations require review of the sample, cooling and utilities.
Explore larger-batch systems →LABORATORY PROBE SONICATION
Compare manual operation, programmable timing and touchscreen control. Listed maximum volumes depend on the liquid, vessel and probe.
