Sonicators - Branson

The Branson Sonifier® SLPe-150D offers capabilities not available in other. This unit is capable of processing 90% of today's laboratory requirements. Sample sizes from as low as 0,1 ml to 50 ml can be effectively processed. The digital controls allow easy parameter entry, in-process monitoring of process data, and access to key data at the end of an experiment. Software excludes inappropriate data entry and sounds an alarm, if the process moves outside set limits. This disruptor series will permit the traditional management of experiments and processes using time (1 second to 99 hours) and amplitude as primary variables.

The SLPe Energy Mode Sonifier includes the ability to control set parameters through the newer “total energy” approach (1 to 10,000 joules), offering advantages in process thermal management. Sonifier includes a large digital display; continuous or pulsed operation; and can manage total experiment time; with local or remote (p/c) control capability; and built-in tuning.

Includes the generator/power supply, converter, 1/8" microtip, all interconnects, and an I/O port for external control. The SLP unit comes complete and ready to run.

KEY FEATURES
• Digital parameter entry for precise, easy setup.
• Digital amplitude control allows for critical applications (ranges from 10% to 100% in 1% increments).
• Built-in auto tuning for optimum control in any application.
• Continuous or pulsed operation.
• LED readout displays parameter settings during setup and operation for easy reference and monitoring.

Cycle parameters provides storage of last-used cycle parameters even if the system is shut off or a power interruption occurs.
• Overall experiment timer.
• Local or remote (plc) control capability.
• Supplied tooling ideal for Eppendorf or Falcon style vessels.
• Meets CE standards.
