2.1 Using the ultrasonic bath
The ultrasonic bath can used for the following applications:
• Ultrasonic cleaning of objects of all shapes, types and sizes
• Homogenisation, emulsification
• Rapid degassing of liquids
• Sonochemical applications, e.g. for radical generation or for improved material
transport
• Preparation of samples for analysis
A solution made from water and a special agent for ultrasonic applications is used
as the sonication fluid. You will find information on the sonication fluid in chapter
5.2 Sonication fluid .
Goods to be treated may not be placed on the bottom of the ultrasonic oscillating
tank. They must be placed in the sonication fluid in an insert basket or in another
