Product Description
The ultrasonic processor UP50H (50 watts, 30kHz) is the smallest model of our aesthetic laboratory devices, that are only supplied by Hielscher Ultrasonics in that compact form. The UP50H is used in particular in medical, biological or chemical laboratories, where small volumes need to be sonicated. Application fields are found mainly in the analytical field with applications such as the disruption of tissues, the cracking of bacteria or the homogenizing of samples in the food industry. This device is perfectly suited for handheld operation with its lightweight 1.1kg, but it can also be operated at a stand. Generator and the transducer are combined in one unit, so there is only one cable. One power supply cord i thatis all. For volume samples from 10iL up to 250mL we offer various replaceable sonotrodes with diameters from 0.5 to 7mmPrecise Ultrasonic Processing for Diverse Lab ApplicationsThe UP50H excels in laboratory tasks such as mixing, dispersing, homogenizing, cell lysis, and degassing for samples up to 250 ml. With a continuous or pulse operation mode, it allows researchers to tailor the process for a wide range of applications, from nanoparticle dispersion to biological sample preparation, ensuring both versatility and reproducibility.
Compact Design with Advanced Control FeaturesWeighing approximately 1.1 kg and measuring 180 x 130 x 185 mm, the UP50H is a space-saving solution for benchtop use. Its LED operational indicator, manual amplitude adjustment, and optional external timer enable precise control and easy monitoring, delivering consistent results while fitting seamlessly into any laboratory workflow.
Customizable and User-Friendly OperationWith interchangeable sonotrodes, optional flow cells, sound protection box, and external timer, the UP50H adapts readily to various research needs. Its user-friendly design, including a stainless steel stand and comprehensive tool kit, streamlines setup and operation, making it ideal for both routine and specialized laboratory tasks.
FAQ's of HIELSCHER Laboratory Ultrasonic Processors UP50H:
Q: How do I use the UP50H ultrasonic processor for homogenizing samples?
A: To homogenize samples, place your prepared sample in an appropriate vessel, insert the sonotrode, and select the desired amplitude using the manual control. Set the operating mode to continuous or pulse depending on your application. The device will deliver ultrasonic energy to thoroughly homogenize the material, ensuring uniform results.
Q: What sample volumes and materials can the UP50H process?
A: The UP50H is designed for laboratory-scale applications and is recommended for sample volumes up to 250 ml. Its robust titanium sonotrode and stainless steel fixtures make it suitable for processing a wide range of materials, including suspensions, emulsions, biological cells, and nano-material dispersions.
Q: When should I use the pulse operation mode instead of continuous mode?
A: Pulse operation mode is beneficial for temperature-sensitive samples or those prone to foaming. By allowing intervals between sonication bursts, it helps manage heat buildup and maintain optimal sample integrity, especially when processing delicate biological materials or highly exothermic reactions.
Q: Where can I purchase optional accessories for the UP50H?
A: Optional accessories such as different sonotrodes, flow cells, sound protection boxes, and external timers can be obtained through HIELSCHER distributors, importers, manufacturers, or authorized suppliers. Contact your local HIELSCHER representative for genuine accessories compatible with your UP50H unit.
Q: What benefits does the UP50H offer for laboratory ultrasonic processing?
A: The UP50H stands out for its compact design, accuracy, and quiet operation (<68 dB(A)). It offers reproducible amplitude control, high process reliability, compatibility with diverse samples, and a simple, intuitive interface, making it an ideal solution for precise laboratory-scale ultrasonic processing.
Q: How do I ensure reproducibility in my ultrasonic process with the UP50H?
A: Reproducibility is achieved with the UP50H through its manual amplitude adjustment and electronic amplitude control. Setting the desired amplitude level ensures consistent sonication energy delivery for each experiment, which is crucial for research and quality control applications.
