4.2 Shaking
It is possible to treat multiple sample vessels with di ff erent fl uids at the same time.
Caution
When treating small quantities of combustible
fl uids in sample vessels, the
country-speci fi c guidelines/regulations that are currently in e ff ect are to be
observed!
Remove any air bubbles below the vessels.
Caution
There is a risk of being crushed between the tank edge and roller carriage after
switched on!
Step 1: Fill the ultrasonic bath and degas it
Check that the oscillating tank is fi lled with water and a suitable preparation to reduce
the surface tension (contact liquid), please refer to the user instructions of the ultrasonic
bath.
Step 2: Insert objects to be treated
Before every sonication it is necessary to check whether the
contact
fl uid needs to be cleaned or replaced.
 The laboratory fl asks can be secured in the roller carriage with
EK holding clamps, see chapter 7.1.
 Equip the roller carriage with laboratory fl asks.
 The laboratory fl asks must be immersed at least 2 cm deep in
the contact fl uid. Ensure the oscillating tank is 2/3 full.
 The fi ll level of the oscillating tank must always be at or slightly
above the fi lling level mark following equipment. A low fi ll level will damage the
ultrasonic bath!
Step 3: Power setting
 Set the knob for power setting to the lowest setting, see Section 3.2.

Check that the movement does not make any sample fl uid come out of the
laboratory fl asks. Only then should you start the ultrasonic bath in accordance with
the user instructions.
Caution:
When working with aggressive preparations/sample, if splashes fall in the contact
fl uid or on the stainless steel surface: change the contact fl uid immediately if
necessary, clean the surfaces and wipe dry.
Step 4: Time setting
 Set the required shaking period, see Section 3.1.
 Set the required sonication period at the ultrasonic bath and start the ultrasound, see
separate user instructions.
