1.3 Intended Use of the System
The 250/450 Sonifiers can be used to disrupt cells, bacteria, spores, or tissue, and
are ideal for initiating and accelerating chemical, biochemical and physical reac-
tions, and degassing liquids. With the 250/450 Sonifiers, you can prepare an emul-
sion to.01 micron, homogenize immiscible liquids, polymerize some materials
and de polymerize others. Appendix A lists the effects of irradiating a variety of
biological materials with ultrasonic energy at 20 kHz.
The 250 and 450 Sonifiers differ in their output power ratings with the output con-
trol at maximum setting. The 250 maximum available output power is 200 watts,
the 450 maximum available output power is 400 watts.
