Instructions for use
• Do not touch the sonication vessels with the oscillating probe - probes and vessels could be
damaged.
• The recommended immersion depth for probes is of 10 - 20 mm, to prevent the aspiration and
mixing-in of air. If mixed-in air is desired, the probe may be immersed just a few millimetres.
In the case of greater immersion depths and/or the sonication of liquids with high viscosities,
the probe is more heavily damped. As a result, it is possible that the pre-set amplitude may not
be reached, especially with higher default settings (>50 %). The reason is that the ultrasonic
generator can no longer provide the required power, or the power limit value has been reached
(protective function).
• When producing emulsions, the probe should be immersed to the level of the interface between
the liquids to be mixed.
• Do not use combustible solvents in open reaction vessels since the operating safety of the
homogeniser could be compromised.
• In order to shut down the device, disconnect it from the mains (pull the plug).

General use
Before starting use, the important instructions in chapter 4.1 should be heeded!
Step 1:
Check the ultrasonic converter
Verify that all connecting cables and couplings are correctly connected.
The
probe type must conform to the sonication volume, see table in chapter 4.3.
The probe must be clean and correctly mounted (see chapter 4.3.1).
The
ultrasonic converter must be securely a
ffi
xed.
Step 2:
Prepare the sonication
Prepare the sonicating medium.
Position the sonication vessel below the ultrasonic converter in such a manner that the probe
does not come in contact with the vessel.
Set the immersion depth for the probe (approx. 10 -20 mm).
If needed, connect the temperature sensor and position it in the medium.
