• What are Qsonica sonicators used for?

  Qsonica sonicators are primarily used for ultrasonic liquid processing, including DNA and chromatin shearing, homogenizing liquid samples, cellular disruption, and particle dispersion.

• Can I run a Qsonica probe in the air?

  No, you should never allow a horn or probe to vibrate in the air. This can overload the power supply and cause permanent damage to the system.

• What is the warranty on a Qsonica Ultrasonic Processor?

  Qsonica Ultrasonic Processors are typically backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, while ultrasonic probes are guaranteed against defects for one year.

• How do I clean and maintain a Qsonica continuous flocell?

  The stainless steel processing chamber and probe can be autoclaved, but fittings and O-rings must be removed prior. Note that the system should be cleaned after each use to prevent cross-contamination.
