tighten the horn. Figure 2 shows how to loosen the horn. After the horn has been tightened, check
the alignment of the plastic collars. Ensure the plastic collars are lined up properly on the o-rings and
not installed on an angle. If the collars are not on correctly, the horn may leak water.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Each Horn is shipped with an Acoustic Enclosure to reduce the sound produced by sonication (see
figure 3). The converter cable must first be inserted through the bottom of the sound enclosure before
attaching it to the Horn/Converter assembly. Pull the converter cable through the opening at the
bottom of the Acoustic Enclosure. Connect the cable to the converter and slowly feed the cord down,
through the bottom of the enclosure until the converter sits properly in the holder (be sure that when
placing the horn in the box the cable does not become stuck under the horn).
Figure 3
Two pieces of Tygon tubing are included with the Horn. See the Horn Diagram on page 48. Slide the
pinch clamps provided, onto the tubing. Attach the tubing to the hose barb fittings on the bottom of the
Horn adapter (grey plastic rim around the microplate horn). Pass the tubing through the holes in the
bottom of the acoustic enclosure. Close the pinch clamps on the tubing so that water can be held in
the Horn reservoir and not leak out. Open the pinch clamps if you are using a pump to circulate cold
water.
