For Q500 / Q700 Sonicators The 4-Tip Horn enables 4 samples to be processed simultaneously. This horn offers high intensity and is effective for cell disruption, mixing, homogenization and many other applications. The 4-Tip horn is available with either 1/8” or ¼” tip diameters. 4659 is a 4-Tip Horn with 1/8” tips. This model is recommended for 1-15ml volumes and fits into both 1.5ml and 15ml tubes. The space between each tip is 1.05”. 4674 is a 4-Tip Horn with 1/4” tips. This model is recommended for 10-50ml volumes and is compatible with 15 and 50ml tubes. The space between each tip is 1.6”. When processing small volumes with high intensity, samples will heat up quickly. In addition to using the pulse mode, a Coolrack tube cooling module is highly recommended. The #504 and #510 Coolracks are compatible with #4659. The #511 Coolrack is compatible with the #4674. The #4130 Stand and Lab Jack is recommended for use with all high throughput horns. This stand holds the horn stable and level to ensure consistent results. Replacement tips are ordered separately.

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.
