WIGGENS offers a variety of Ultrasonic Processing products and systems that Lida wide range of applications, including: life sciences, nanotechnology, emulsions, soil testing, environmental sample processing, cell culture, cell disruption, sonochemistry, and drug development. They can also be used for general super-mixing applications in liquid processing where a very small sample is needed, or where the sample is hard to mix or insert into a solution or dispersion. Ace takes the application one step further, as we add our glass expertise and our Screw threads to make glass vessels to match the horn selection. Add a power supply for a complete system, or a reactor for sample ultramixing and liquid processing.

About Ultrasonics
The Ultrasonic power supply converts 50/60Hz voltage to high frequency electrical energy. This alternating current voltage is applied to disc-shaped, ceramic, piezoelectric crystals within the converter head, causing them to expand and contract with each change of polarity. These longitudinal vibrations are amplified by the horn and transmitted into the liquid mixture as alternating high and low pressure ultrasonic waves. The pressure fluctuations pull the liquid molecules apart, creating millions of micro-bubbles (cavities), which expand during the low pressure phases and implode violently during the high pressure phases. As the bubbles collapse, millions of shock waves, micro-streams, eddies, and extremes in pressure and temperature are generated at the implosion sites. This phenomenon, known as cavitation, lasts but a few microseconds, and while the amount of energy released by each bubble is minimal, the cumulative amount of energy generated is extremely high. This process is self-stimulating because the imploding bubbles create new sites for bubbles to form. The high shear energy delivered is maximized near the tip of the horn, and also decreases the farther the tip is from the solution.

Applications for Ultrasonic Processing:

Features
The system guarantees a constant amplitude and thus reproducible results independently from changing conditions within the sample. Settings within a range of 10 to 100 % are possible. Verification of actual value at the display. Permanent control of ultrasound irradiation as well as indication of wear of the probe.

Pulsation
limits temperature increase when processing heatsensitive samples. The adjustable pulsation allows cooling during rest intervals.

Continuous operation
constant sound radiation – extremely effective.

Integrated timer
duration of sonication storable; indication of elapsed time during continuous operation or of remaining time in count-down mode.

Switching ON / OFF – easy to handle
either at the generator or directly at the ultrasonic converter via button or remote control.
Foil keypad – easy-care and user-friendly.
Fail-safe during continuous operation and idling.
CE-marked, also as medical device compliant to the directive for in-vitro diagnostics 98/79/EG
