Microtip probes are available in tapered and stepped configurations
and are designed to process samples contained in small diameter
vessels at extremely high intensity (refer to charts for recommended volumes).
Tapered microtips screw into standard 1/2" step horns with tapped
ends. The double stepped microtip consists of a coupler and a stepped tip and screws directly into the converter. It has lower amplitude than the tapered tip, but is capable of reaching into small diameter vessels of greater depth and can process solutions down to 0.5 ml.
The horns and microtips detailed on this sheet are also compatible
with the earlier Branson Sonifier, Model 350. For information on
horns for Sonifier Models 185-200, call us or your Customer Service Representative.
WARNING: because of their high amplitude, microtips are highly
stressed and can break if operated in air or at an output control
setting greater than 7 on the Sonifer II. |

Typical Applications:
- Micro-tapered is recommended for processing spores, fungi,
yeast, muscle, and connective tissue.
- Microtip - stepped is recommended for red and white blood cells, tissue culture cells, HELA cells, and cells which have a low to medium resistance to breakage.
