4.1  

Fill  oscillating tank  

If inset beakers are used in the  ultrasonic bath, a contact 

fl

 uid must always be used as otherwise 

the ultrasound cannot pass through the air (between the ultrasonic oscillating tank and the inset 
beaker). This  contact 

fl

 uid must be able to transfer the ultrasound to the  

fl

 uid in the inset beaker 

without loss if possible. The surface tension is very high in municipal and deionised water. As a 
result of this high surface tension, the cavitation does not occur throughout the entire solution. 
It generally only forms on the bottom of the oscillating tank or on inhomogeneities in the water. 
To reduce the surface tension, you should add a surfactant preparation which is biodegradable, 
easily disposable, gentle to the material and long-lasting. We recommend  TICKOPUR TR 3, which 
is easily available from specialist laboratory supply dealers. Even when used for a long period 
of time, this preparation does not leave any scrum or incrustations,does not turn cloudy and on 
average functions for 5-7 days before needing to be changed. 

The ultrasonic bath is turned off for  

fi

 lling. 



  Check that the  ball valve is closed. 



  Fill 1/3 of oscillating tank with water. 



  Add the surfactant preparation in the correct dosage, e.g., 1% 

 TICKOPUR TR 3.



  Fill carefully up to the  

fi

 lling level mark, avoid as much as possible the 

formation of foam. The oscillating tank must be 

fi

 lled depending on the 

sample vessels used, as they displace the  contact 

fl

 uid.

IMPORTANT:

With the sample vessels inserted, the 

fi

 lling level should be at or slightly above the  

fi

 lling level 

mark, as a too low 

fi

 lling level damages the ultrasonic bath! 

Instructions –  

fi

 lling

• Do not 

fi

 ll oscillating tank with hot water. Maximum  

fi

 lling temperature: 50°C.

•  At least drinking-quality water must be used to 

fi

 ll the oscillating tank.

•  Only use distilled or deionised water without additives in inset beakers or insert tubs. 
•  Do not use any combustible, explosive, non-aqueous  liquids or azeotropic mixtures directly in 

the stainless steel oscillating tank (e.g. benzine, solvents). Furthermore, chemicals that contain 
or that separate chloride ions (some disinfectants, household cleaners, and dish detergents), 
may not be used directly in the stainless steel tank.

•  When working with aggressive preparations in inset beakers or insert tubs: Prevent the  contact 

fl

 uid or stainless steel surfaces from being sprayed. If necessary, replace the  contact 

fl

 uid, clean 

the surfaces and wipe dry.
