Collecting Cells on Microcarriers
SONITUBE® is commonly used for the production of antigens for the development of human and veterinary vaccines. The implosion of cavitation bubbles easily detaches cells from micro-supports such as Cytodex® and Hillex®.
Cellular Lyse
Sonication maximizes the release of nucleic acids and occurs after cell harvesting. These cells are mainly derived from two types of viral cultures either in vivo on embryonic eggs or in vitro in rolling vials, multiwell plates or bioreactors.
De-agglomération of protein chains
The problem of agglomeration of protein chains is easily solved through the use of ultrasound. The production of acellular vaccines uses our SONITUBE® for their aseptic execution.
Fine Chemistry
From a sustainable development perspective, sonochemistry is the perfect ally to synthesize your most complex molecules. Reactions are carried out safely in our continuous and closed systems for highly active and quality products.
Cristallisation / Sonocristallisation
The application of ultrasound in crystallization operations (by cooling, heating or chemical reaction) accelerates the formation of the solid, or reduces induction time and reduces the size of crystals formed with equivalent oversaturation. Ultrasound could be an alternative to the often used industrial seeding. Indeed, the use of ultrasound results in the formation of a large number of nuclei in a short time.
A specific device for continuous crystallization, the SONOCRISTALTM, was designed jointly by our company in collaboration with the RAPSODEE centre. It offers a new way of applying ultrasound, maximizing their effect while minimizing dissipated energy.
Vegetable extraction
Also known as ultrasonic eco-extraction, this cold process promotes extraction rates while preserving sensitive molecules. Unlike conventional protocols, this rapid extraction reduces the energy and solvents consumed. Used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production, SONITUBE® contributes to respect for the environment, hygiene and safety rules.
Homogenization
SYNETUDE homogenizers significantly reduce investment costs and electricity consumption. Unlike high-pressure or rotor/stator systems, the SONITUBE® has no moving parts. Only the vibration wave spreads through the acoustic chain.
Dispersion
On the other hand are high shear power, sonITUBE®, decluttering the particulate clumps present in powderorous or granular materials. The resulting dispersion presents finer particles with a more uniform distribution. Used to make dabbling sofds containing ceramic powders, ultrasound will make it possible to obtain compact and homogeneous granules after atomization.
Emulsion
Ultrasound propagated in a heterogeneous medium splits one of the liquid phases into microdroplets. Our homogenizers produce fine and stable emulsions while reducing the use of emulsifiers. These fluid emulsions, made up of blood cells of less than 1 m, are used in particular for the encapsulation of active ingredients and the development of creams.
Reducing viscosity
For very short treatment times, the rheological properties of the shaded suspensions change considerably. SONITUBE® reduces apparent viscosity while ensuring excellent reproducibility. Used before gas or centrifugal atomization, it allows an increase in the rate of dry matter and thus contributes to the increase of production capacity.
Degassing
Thanks to the phenomenon of acoustic cavitation, our technologies efficiently extract dissolved gases from liquids. Our applications include lightweight molten alloys, inks and buffer solutions. In pharmacotechnics, the coupling of vacuum with ultrasound significantly improves the deoxygenation of injectable solutes.
Continuous cleaning
The tubular sonITUBE® is used to clean metal, synthetic and mineral products. Its efficiency, 20 times greater than conventional cleaning bins, gives it the possibility of increased linear speed on products passing through it. For a compact and easily implantable system on your production lines, it increases processing capacity tenfold.
Technology coupling
The synergy between our ultrasonic systems and the technologies of the future opens new horizons to your continuous processes. The coupling of ultrasound with microwaves, UV, enzymes, super-critical fluids and many others leads to increased yields and productivity. SYNETUDE, in collaboration with many industrial and scientific partners, is committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions.
