How to Choose the Right Sonicator for Your Lab or Production

This guide details how to select a suitable ultrasonic cell disruptor, covering its applications, power and probe selection criteria, key functional features, scenario-based model recommendations

1. Applications

Ultrasonic cell disruptors (also known as sonicators or ultrasonic homogenizers) are widely used in:

• Cell lysis & DNA/RNA extraction
• Protein and enzyme extraction
• Nanomaterial dispersion
• Emulsification & homogenization
• Chemical reaction acceleration

They are ideal for laboratories, universities, biotech companies, and pilot-scale production.

2. How to Choose the Right Model

2.1 Power Selection by Sample Volume

Tip:
Higher power increases processing speed, but for sensitive samples (such as proteins), moderate power is recommended to avoid damage.
