Metallic Soundproof Box
This metallic soundproof box absorbs more than 30 dBA generated by the ultrasonic sonication bath (Figure 4).
Power Supply Adapter
A power supply adapter is needed when operating the Bioruptor
®
outside the U.S. with a voltage other than 110V.
This unit provides the instrument with several signals used at the different stages
during operation. The power supply adapter is the heaviest part of the apparatus and
needs particular handling caution.
The power supply adapter for the UCD-300 is switched on with the power button located
on the back.
Tube Holders
Several sizes of tubes can be used with the Bioruptor
®
Plus. The minimum and maximum sample volume to be used with
each container is given in the table below. The 0.5 ml and 1.5 ml tubes can be simply closed and installed in the rotor. For
the sonication of larger volumes (10 ml, 15 ml and 50 ml tubes), a stopper with a metallic bar has to be used to reflect
sound waves to produce a better resonance efficiency.
