Used Lab Equipment

Features:

The Branson 1510R-MTH Ultrasonic Cleaner is designed for reliable and durable performance. The ultrasonic cleaner is safe enough for delicate jewelry and powerful enough to remove proteins, buffing compounds and heavy oils. This ultrasonic cleaner has a mechanical timer with heat.

Specifications:

• Frequency: 40kHz
• Weight: 7 lb.
• Tank capacity: .5 gal
• Dimensions: 12" W x 11.5" L x 10" D (30.48 x 29.21 x 25.4 cm)
• Tank dimensions: 5.5" W x 6" L x 4" D (13.97 x 15.24 x 10.16 cm)

Description:

The Fisher Scientific FS20H Ultrasonic Cleaner with timer is powerful enough to remove heavy oils, buffing compounds, proteins, consistent enough to manage difficult laboratory cleaning, and safe enough for delicate components or fine jewelry. Ultrasonic sound waves move through a cleaning solution, creating an effect called cavitation, which is the rapid formation and collapse of microscopic bubbles.

Specifications:

• Tank Capacity: 3/4 gallon
• Tank Dimensions (L x W x D): 6 x 5.5 x 6 in
• Overall Dimensions (L x W x H): 8.9 x 8.9 x 11.3 in
• Ultrasonic Power: 80 W
• Heater Power: 63 W
• Operating Frequency: 40 kHz

The ultrasonic electronic generator transforms AC line power to a 20 KHz signal that drives a piezoelectric converter/transducer. This electrical signal is converted by the transducer to a mechanical vibration due to the characteristics of the internal piezoelectric crystals.

The vibration is amplified and transmitted down the length of the horn/probe where the tip longitudinally expands and contracts. The distance the tip travels is dependent on the amplitude selected by the user through the touch screen pad. As you increase the amplitude setting the sonication intensity will increase within your sample.

In liquid, the rapid vibration of the tip causes cavitation, the formation and violent collapse of microscopic bubbles. The collapse of thousands of cavitation bubbles releases tremendous energy in the cavitation field. The erosion and shock effect of the collapse of the cavitation bubble is the primary mechanism of fluid processing.

The probe tip diameter dictates the amount of sample that can be effectively processed. Smaller tip diameters (Microtip™ probes) deliver high intensity sonication but the energy is focused within a small, concentrated area. Larger tip diameters can process larger volumes, but offer lower intensity. 

The choices of a generator and horns/probes are matched to the volume, viscosity and other parameters of the particular application. Horns are available for both direct and indirect sonication. The Accessories section has more information on this subject.

Ultrasonic processors have proven to be highly effective for many applications including:

• Cell disruption
• Nanoparticle dispersion
• Homogenization
• Shearing DNA
• Disaggregation
• Focused cleaning
• Mixing
• Degassing
• Catalyzing reactions

Features:

The Sonic Dismembrator is a device that creates ultrasonic energy and transmits this energy through a titanium probe into a liquid sample. This process creates cavitation (the implosion of micro-bubbles with high shear forces) which has the ability to process samples in many scientific applications. Sonic Dismembrators feature a wide range of accessories which enable the user to process microliter to one liter sample volumes. Small volumes require

Specifications:

• Dimensions (generator): 8” W x 15” L x 9” H
• Power rating: 500 watts
• Operating frequency: 20 kHz

The BD FACSCanto system breaks new frontiers in flow cytometry by providing an efficient, easy-to-use yet powerful six-color benchtop analyzer. It incorporates many technology advances first developed in the BD LSR II expandable analyzer and the BD FACSAria cell sorter. It supports a broad range of research applications, being particularly suited for rare event analysis with its high speed, great sensitivity, and minimal sample-to-sample carryover.

The BD FACSCanto system combines a patented optical design for enhanced signal retention on six fluorescent and two scatter parameters, digital electronics for processing up to 10,000 events per second, and a novel sample injection tube supporting carryover of less than 0.1%. Your total benefit consists of the best fluorescence sensitivity to resolve dim events, cleaner data due to minimal sample contamination, and rapid processing rates, preserving valuable time for science. BD FACSCanto performance overcomes obstacles in rare event analysis and in functional studies for low detection ranges.
