SONABOX
Before unpacking or assembling, please READ INSTRUCTIONS carefully. See page 8-8 for
diagram.
Unpack by grasping the Enclosure body to lift from carton. DO NOT lift by latch assembly
(door handle). Open SONABOX by lifting latch handle to the horizontal position and turning
handle 90
o
in either direction. Remove and unwrap two Z-shaped legs with two rubber feet
attached to each leg.
For Standard Horn or Microtip Assembly
Remove the four screws holding the Convertor Cup to the Sonabox, invert cup with cylindrical
sleeve facing upward, and reinstall screws as shown in the diagram on page 9-8.
For Cup Horns
Remove the four screws at the corners of Sonabox. Place Z-shaped legs on Sonabox and
reinstall screws. To fit coolant tubing to cup horn, remove two screws from Z-strip, reverse Z-
strip to uncover three holes, and reinstall screws. Pass coolant tubing through holes. Invert
Enclosure.
If the Acoustic Enclosure is to be used exclusively with the cup horn, the latch handle may be
reversed to close downward. Remove inner nut that secures pawl. DO NOT allow adjusting
(outer) nut to rotate. Remove pawl, rotate it 180
o
on shaft, reinstall pawl and nut, and tighten
nut.
DUAL HORN
The Dual Horn accessory allows a single Sonicator
to process two samples simultaneously.
Power is delivered to two ¾” diameter solid stepped extenders, which vibrate at the same
intensity as a single ¾” horn. EPA specifications, such as in Method SW846-3550, are met
for power output, probe size and intensity.
MICROPLATE HORN
The Microplate Horn is designed to provide ultrasonic energy to all the wells in a single
polystyrene or polypropylene microplate. It attaches directly to the convertor in place of the
standard horn. There is a circular radiating surface with an attached clear acrylic sleeve. The
sleeve of the Microplate Horn is filled with water (or other liquid) and microplates are placed
inside. The Microplate Horn works in principle like a Cup Horn, only it is larger and custom
designed for microplates. Detailed instructions are included with the Microplate Horn.
