SONIFIER® MODEL S-150 DIGITAL

The Branson Sonifier S-150D digital Ultrasonic cell disruptor is a versatile laboratory tool designed for biological and liquid processing applications.  The S-150D delivers up to 100 watts of ultrasonic power to the thumb switch activated microprobe.  It is particularly useful for smaller samples ranging in size from 200 microliters to 100 milliliters.  Its compact size minimizes bench space while the angled front provides visibility and access to the controls.  Sonifier cell disruptors are widely used in research and pharmaceutical laboratories for disrupting bacteria, viruses, spores and other cellular structures.  Additional applications for the Sonifier S-150D include homogenization, emulsification, dispersion, fine mixing and acceleration of chemical reactions.  The economical price puts this valuable tool within reach of even the smallest labs.

Branson Sonifier analogue products use traditional analogue technology to produce the same reliable results you have achieved from Branson for over 50 years.  Automatic amplitude at different energy levels encountered during sample processing.  The broad band tuning feature precisely adjusts the 20 khz output frequency to optimum levels even when process tooling is changed.

The analogue control package includes:
*  Adjustable output power to meet the needs of each application.
*  Energy pulsing to minimize heating of sensitive samples
*  Mechanical timer to limit process time while freeing the operator
*  An output meter to monitor process power and provide for repeatability

All of these features are housed in a rugged, compact package with slanted front control panel for clear visibility and easy access.  All units are supplied as an operational package including power supply, converter and standard disruptor horn.

Branson Sonifier digital products take advantage of the new digital technology.  This is particularly useful where precise process control and parameter measurement are required.  Like analogue units, they operate at a fundamental frequency of 20 kHz, include automatic amplitude control, autotune and include enhanced features like:

*  Multiple mode operation; continuous, pulsed, timed, temperature end-point
*  Setup menus in five languages
*  Digital parameter settings with automatic range validity auditing
*  Automatic end-of-cycle shutoff using limit parameters
*  Self diagnostics in start up
*  Twenty user-programmed presets for convenience

All units have digital controls, including a membrane switch for easy data entry, 10 hour timer, digital wattmeter, 80 character LCD display to monitor parameters and much more.  The parallel printer interface and RS-232C serial computer interface add even more utility. All units are supplied as an operational package including power supply, converter and standard horn.

Static processing of higher liquid volumes or processing liquids in a continuous stream generally requires greater ultrasonic power output to maintain appropriate power density per unit volume per unit time.  Branson offers several types of systems to meet these higher volume applications.
The Sonifier 2000BDC at 1100 to 4000 watts can process up to 10 GPM per processing cell.  This 20kHz system passes process fluid through a confined chamber in close proximity to a high energy ultrasonic horn.
