Compact and cost effective The Q55 Sonicator® is a compact and cost-effective ultrasonic processor that will occupy less bench space than any unit on the market. It may be small and simple, but you still get the same renowned Sonicator performance. This model is effective for standard cell disruption and many other small volume applications. Probes are available in three different sizes. Ordering information: Part #Q55 includes a standard 1/8” diameter probe (#4422). A variety of probe/horn options are available. If you do not require the standard probe (#4422) the system can be purchased without it. Part #Q55A is the Sonicator system (power supply, converter, cables and wrench set) but excludes the standard probe. Part #Q55S includes 460 (stand). - Smallest unit available - Thumb-switch or continuous operation - Simple and effective operation PART NO. Q55 INCLUDES: - Generator - Converter - 1/8” diameter probe - Power cable - Converter cable - Wrench set Power Rating 55 Watts Frequency 20 kHz Dimensions 8" W x 7.5" L x 5.75" H Voltage 110V, 50/60Hz * 220V not available online, contact us for local distributor Volume Up to 50 ml

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.
