Use
Depending on the application, the samples are sonicated indirectly in inlet beakers or other
sample vessels, which are placed on special holders and inserted into the contact liquid in
the oscillating tank.
Direct sonication of objects in the bath liquid is not permitted
with the SONOCOOL.
The intended process sequence is described step by step
in the following chapters.
4.1
Fill the oscillating tank and de-air it
In order to transmit the ultrasound between the oscillating tank and the laboratory
fl
asks,
the tank must be
fi
lled with a contact liquid composed of normal municipal or deionised
water together with a surfactant, e.g. TICKOPUR TR 3 . For additional information, see
chapter 4.5.
Notes - Filling
• Do
not
fi
ll the oscillating tank with hot water (> 30 °C). The
fi
lling temperature should
be between 15 and 25 °C.
• Water of at least drinking quality must be used to
fi
ll the oscillating tank.
• Only use distilled or deionised water without additives in inset beakers or insert tubs.
• Do not use any combustible liquids (e.g. benzine, solvents) or chemicals that contain
chloride ions or that separate (some disinfectants, household cleaners, and dish
detergents) for sonication in the stainless steel tank.
• When working with aggressive preparations in inset beakers or insert tubs: Prevent
the contact liquid or stainless steel surfaces from being sprayed. If needed,
replace the contact liquid immediately, clean the surfaces and wipe dry.
• When using preparations, the safety instructions included in the product lea
fl
ets
are to be fundamentally adhered to.
