MICROTIP

Part Numbers: (418, 419, 419A, 419B)

MICROTIPS

attach directly to the end of the ½” diameter tapped horn in place of the flat tip. The

MICROTIP

Probes are tapered down to a narrow point and serve as a third stage of acoustic

amplification. They are used to process small sample volumes ranging from 0.2 - 50 ml.

The

MICROTIP

is a precision instrument and is designed to give extreme output intensity. To

obtain the maximum life from this accessory, the following precautions must be observed.

1. Do not permit the MICROTIP

to fall or drop on a hard surface or to bear against the

worktable during installation or removal.

2. The MICROTIP

should never be operated in air.

3. Always immerse the MICROTIP

in the sample liquid before turning on the instrument.

Immersing an energized MICROTIP

into the sample may cause splashing,

aerosoling or foaming.

4. If the material being treated aerosols or foams, the generator should be turned off

immediately as this is equivalent to operating the

MICROTIP

in air and will cause it to

heat up and possibly fail.

5. The MICROTIP

must not be allowed to touch the rim or side of the processing vessel,

especially close to the MICROTIP

end (the radiating surface).

WARNING!!

The MICROTIP

operates close to the stress limits of titanium and any of the above

mentioned conditions can introduce a microscopic crack in the tip or cause it to break. The

output intensity (or amplitude) of the MICROTIP

probe is considerably larger than that of the

standard ½” horn. All cautions and warnings must be observed at all times.

STEPPED MICROTIP

Part Number: (420)

The stepped MICROTIP

consists of an upper section and a lower section. The upper section is

used in place of the standard horn, and the lower section attaches directly into the upper section. The

lower section has 3 steps that reduce the probes diameter from ½” to 1/8”. The Stepped

MICROTIP

is used in place of a tapered MICROTIP

when a longer reach and narrower profile are

required, such as when processing samples in long, narrow test tubes (e.g. 12mm x 75mm).
