SONABOX
Before unpacking or assembling, please READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS carefully. See 9-8.
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 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 from the convertor neck, invert neck with cylindrical sleeve
outward, and reinstall screws.
For Cup Horns
Remove four screws at corners of box. Place Z-shaped legs on box and reinstall screws. If
fitting 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 which secures pawl. DO NOT allow
adjusting (outer) nut to rotate. Remove pawl, rotate it 180 on shaft, reinstall pawl and nut,
and tighten nut.
DUAL HORN
The Dual Horn accessory allows a single SONICATOR
®
to process two samples
simultaneously. Full 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.
TRAY HORN
The Tray 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 rectangular radiating surface with an attached clear acrylic
sleeve. The sleeve of the Tray Horn is filled with water (or other liquid) and microplates are
placed inside. The Tray Horn works just like a Cup Horn, only larger and custom designed
for microplates. (See Cup Horn 9-1 through 9-3)
