a prolonged period, cause the tip to erode, and decrease the efficiency of the sonication
process without showing up on the power monitor. The smoother and more polished the tip,
the more power will be transmitted into the liquid. Any erosion of the probe tip will increase
the rate of future erosion. For that reason, it is recommended that after every 5 or 6 hours of
use, the tip be examined, and if necessary, polished with a fine emery cloth. Since the probe
and tip are tuned to vibrate at a specific frequency, it is important that only the contaminated
surface be removed. When changing the tip, check for wear in all mating surfaces. If the
horn itself is worn or damaged, replace the horn as well.
