Sonication is a very effective method for the mixing, homogenizing, emulsifying, dispersing, disintegration, and degassing of liquids by means of ultrasonic cavitation. The VialTweeter applies this technology to vials, such as autosampler vials, storage vials and reagent vials without the need to open the cap or any water bath.
The VialTweeter is an effective alternative to the sonication of vials in ultrasonic cleaning baths or tanks, in which the water surrounding the vials takes most of the energy - while the effective power in a 1.5ml vial is as low as 0.01 watt. For sonication processes, this is no power at all.
The VialTweeter delivers up to 10 watts to each of the six vials in its high intensity part and up to 5 watts to the two vials placed in its low intensity part. These power levels allow for sophisticated sonication processes (see a list at the end of this page) in short time, similar to direct sonication by a homogenizer.
