The Basics Of Ultrasonic Homogenizer

The Basics Of Ultrasonic Homogenizer

Homogenizers come in a variety of sizes and shapes and operate under several different kinds of forces. The ultrasonic homogenizer is a specific kinds of homogenizer which uses ultrasonic waves and cavitation to force apart and reduce the size of particles (both liquid and solid) within a liquid substance.

What is ultrasonic homogenizer？

Ultrasonic homogenizers consist of three parts:

A generator, which supplies of energy.

A converter, which converts electrical energy into mechanical motion.

A horn, which when placed into a liquid moves in a rapid fashion and causes bubbles to form. These bubbles expand and contract, breaking apart the surrounding particles (called cavitation).

Why use the ultrasonic homogenizer？

Of course, the goal of homogenization is not only to break apart, but to mix particles. Therefore ultrasonic homogenizers hold an advantage, as their stimulation of cavitation so effectively disrupts molecular bonds that the total particle surface area is greatly increased. This is because breaking apart particles creates more particles with more surfaces.

And when the total surface area is larger and the particles are more tightly distributed, the chances of particle aggregation and overall stability are improved.

Additionally, ultrasonic homogenizers require fewer parts to maintain and clean, and can be customized for specific amplitude and pressure ranges, making them an excellent choice for scientists and manufacturers who want complete control over the cavitation process.

When use the ultrasonic homogenizer？

Ultrasonic homogenizers can be used to homogenize samples, lyse cells, reduce particle size, extract biological materials, improve chemical processes, etc., but only for liquid (or mostly liquid) samples. They are suitable for laboratory and industrial environments where samples cannot be stirred, can be processed without grinding or cutting, and are not degraded by heat (as high temperatures often cause agitation at the tip of a fast sonicator).

Who use the ultrasonic homogenizer？

As mentioned earlier, ultrasonic homogenizers can be used by a variety of professionals in all walks of life. Life scientists can use them to facilitate sound holes. Jewelers and opticians can use them to clean their wares. Food scientists and chemists can use them to enhance their "soft commodity" processing. Archaeologists can use them to discover microfossils. These are just a few examples!
