Microplate Horn Instructions
The Microplate Horn is a large, 6” diameter horn capable of processing a variety of sample
sizes. An entire microtiter plate or several microtubes can be sonicated at one time.
A liquid media, such as water or glycol, is used to transmit the ultrasonic energy from the
horn’s surface to the sample. A rack of tubes or a standard 96-well microplate can be easily
processed. Simply place your samples within the water filled reservoir and the sonic energy
is transferred into each individual well or tube. This unit is ideal for high throughput
applications.
The Horn is equipped with a clear acrylic collar to contain the liquid media within the
reservoir. This format allows the user to process deep well microplates or other large
vessels. Standard microtiter plates or pcr tubes require a smaller volume of liquid for
sonication. For these applications, the clear acrylic collar may be removed and the lower,
gray collar will allow for easier access to the samples.
Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification Assay (PMCA)
The Microplate Horn is used in PMCA research. A tube holder and cover (#444) are available
for proper sample positioning. Please specify if you intend to use the unit for PMCA when
contacting QSonica.
