Ultrasonic probes for processing in
microplates
Four-, eight- and 24-element probes deliver the intensity directly into the sample to meet the demand of today's high throughput laboratories
Jencons-PLS announces the introduction of three novel multi-element probes specially designed for processing up to 96 deep well plates as well as 1.5-2.0ml microtubes and 10ml test tubes Unlike ultrasonic baths, or microplate horns that act as ultrasonic baths, the probes deliver the intensity directly into the sample, instead of through the microplate walls where a great percentage of energy can be absorbed

And, unlike single probes with grooved protrusions, these composite probes act as mechanical amplifiers.
With ultrasonics, the greater the mass ratio between the probe upper section and the lower section, the greater the intensity at the probe tip.
Although originally designed for genomic and proteomic applications, these probes can also be used for cell and tissue fractionation, toxicity studies, sample preparation, Elisas, enzymology, protein purification for RNA, DNA, PCR labelling, hybridisation, receptor binding studies, preparation of liposomes, micro emulsions, extractions, desegregation and dissolution.
In addition to these multi-element probes, Jencons-PLS can manufacture custom probes to suit specific applications.
