The Q500 Sonicator® has been a reliable laboratory-scale ultrasonic processor for nanoparticle dispersion, emulsification, cell lysis, homogenization, particle size reduction, and a wide range of other applications. It features 500 watts of power, programmable operation, and the best-in-class reliability that you only get with the original Sonicator brand. Adjustable pulse On and Off times can be programmed from 1 second to 1 minute, with a total run time of up to 10 hours. A wide variety of probes and accessories, such as flocells for continuous operation or cup horns for high-throughput small volume processing, are available to handle virtually any application. Are your samples valuable? Is your work important? Then do as tens of thousands of others have done over the past half a century: trust it to a Sonicator. Ordering information: Part #Q500 includes a standard ½” diameter probe with replaceable tip (#4220). A variety of probe/horn options are available. If you do not require the standard probe (#4220) the system can be purchased without it. Part #Q500A is the Sonicator system (power supply, converter, cables and wrench set) but excludes the standard probe. Part #Q500E includes 432B2 (sound enclosure). Programmable operation Set time and amplitude for hands free operation Pulse Mode Prevent heat buildup in temperature sensitive samples Digital amplitude / intensity control Output intensity can be set from 20-100% Elapsed time indicator Displays duration of sonication Display of wattage and joules Real-time energy monitoring Overload Protection Prevents damage to circuitry if a fault occurs RoHS compliant Uses lead free components PART NO. Q500 INCLUDES: - Generator - Converter - 1/2” diameter probe - Power cable - Converter cable - Wrench set Power Rating 500 Watts Frequency 20 kHz Programmable Timer 10 Hours Adjustable Pulse On/Off 1 Second to 1 Minute Dimensions 8" W x 15.25" L x 8.5" H Voltage 110V, 50/60Hz * 220V not available online, contact us for local distributor Volume Up to 1 Liter

Standard Probes For Q500 / Q700 Sonicators Horns (also known as probes) are made from titanium and machined to specific sizes and shapes. When driven at their resonant frequency, they expand and contract longitudinally. This mechanical vibration is amplified and transmitted down the length of the probe. In liquid, the probe causes cavitation which constitutes the main mechanism for sample processing. Choosing the appropriate horn is extremely important. The sample volume to be processed is directly related to the tip diameter. 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. Probes are offered with replaceable or solid tips. Probe tips will pit or erode over time and require replacement. Using an excessively worn tip can affect your results and possibly overload the generator. Solid probes must be used for samples containing organic solvents or low surface tension liquids.

The 15ml and 50ml tube holders are made to accommodate conical screw cap tubes. In addition to these tube holders, Qsonica can design and manufacture custom sample tube racks to meet your specific process requirements. Please contact a Qsonica representative for more information. Photos show 431C2 cup horn with tube holder. Cup horn accessory is sold separately. Use of polystyrene or similar tube material is recommended. Polypropylene or soft plastics do not work as efficiently and will result in poor sample processing.
