5.8 Insert objects to be treated
To achieve good results, observe the following instructions when
inserting objects for sonication:
• Before each round of sonication, check that the sonication liquid
is not contaminated. If contamination is visible, replace the soni-
cation liquid.
• The sonication liquid must be degassed. See chapter
• Preheat the sonication liquid to the desired temperature before
inserting objects.
• Use suitable accessories, e.g., a basket. Do not place objects
directly on the bottom of the oscillating tank. Use a silicone knob
mat for delicate objects.
• Distribute objects around the container. Do not stack them.
Make sure that delicate objects do not touch other objects.
• The ultrasound must be switched off while inserting objects.
• Check the fill level. Make sure the liquid completely covers all
objects undergoing sonication. Inset beakers for indirect sonica-
tion must be immersed in the contact liquid to a depth of at
least 2 cm.
• Remove air bubbles from cavities. Rotate the objects accord-
ingly. Remove any air bubbles underneath the inset beakers.
The ultrasound process will only be effective in places where the
liquid comes into contact with the object undergoing sonication
or the inset beaker.
• Place the more heavily soiled side facing down. Place objects
with joints (e.g., scissors, forceps) into the container open so
that the sonication liquid reaches the entire surface optimally.
