For Q500 / Q700 Sonicators. Flocells offer inline or continuous, large volume, batch sample processing. Flocells are ideal for mixing and dispersing applications. Batch volumes can be recirculated through the system multiple times if increased sonication time is needed. Multiple units can be used in series to reduce processing time and/or maintain an even higher flow rate. The liquid sample is pumped into the Flocell through the inlet at the bottom of the unit. As the sample passes through the cavitation field, it is processed. The processed liquid exits the unit through an outlet port. The degree of processing can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of sonication as well as flow rate. The Low Volume Flocell (LVFC) is available for use with either the Q500 or Q700 system. The Flocell (part #4650) is equipped with ¼” hose barb fittings and does not include a probe. A ½” replaceable tip probe (#4643) or ½” solid probe (#4644) must be ordered separately. These probes feature a flange for proper mounting with the LVFC. The replaceable tip probe is for use with aqueous samples only. Solid tip probes can be used with all types of solvents or low surface tension liquids. Sonication generates heat so a water jacket (#4655) is available if the process requires cooling. The water jacket slides over the LVFC and is used to recirculate cold water around the exterior of the flocell body. The water jacket has ¼” hose barb fittings. The LVFC is recommended for customers processing sample volumes above 1L. Routine applications include cell lysis, mixing, solubilizing and deagglomerating/dispersing nanoparticles. *Peristaltic pump and associated tubing are not included. Customer must select their own pump based on their particular product requirements. A variable speed pump is recommended. Part #4650 Low volume Continuous Flocell: Dimensions: 9.1” H x 3.5” Dia. (includes probe and clamp); Material: 316L stainless Steel; Operating pressure: 40 to 100psi max; Internal volume: 65ml; Max. flow rate: 0.5L/min; Hose barb fittings for ¼” ID tubing. Price: $1,330.00 Reference: 4650.

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.
