Description:
Horns (probes) transmit ultrasonic energy into a solution. The
dimensions of the horn and the output control setting determine the amount of amplitude (tip movement) and degree of ultrasonic activity in the liquid. Generally, the smaller the tip diameter, the higher the amplitude. Larger tip diameters have less amplitude but can accommodate larger volumes. All Sonifier horns and tips are
fabricated from titanium. Please note the charted amplitude ratings
and liquid volumes when selecting horns.
A step horn with a threaded body enables the attachment of various screw-on accessories, such as a continuous flow cell. Tapped horn ends enable attachment of microtips. Tapped horns are supplied with removable flat tips.
High gain horns cannot be used with screw-on accessories but
provide higher amplitude at 3/4" and 1" diameters than the same
diameter step horn.
Exponential horns have lower tip amplitude but can withstand
higher tip loading. Best suited for applications requiring the
compressing of solids such as powders and tissue. |
