Ultrasonic Equipment

Sonicator is an electronic instrument that carries out sonication i.e. the application of sound energy to the sample of interest. The equipment exists in the form of an ultrasonic bath or an ultrasonic probe (or probe sonicator) converting electric energy to ultrasonic sound energy. An Ultrasonic Performance Meter measures ultrasonic activity in an ultrasonic bath.
 The purpose of sonication in a research laboratory is diverse and plenty. In life sciences, the common application is cell lysis and tissue disruption which involves breaking cellular membrane with sonic waves. Similarly, it can be used for DNA fragmentation into smaller pieces mostly before the creation of a DNA insert or next-generation sequencing
