Proper setup is important to optimizing the sonication amplitude
settings and processing times. The probe should be securely
held using the Qsonica stand and clamp. This clamp can be
secured to either the booster ring or bottom of the converter.
Probe depth must be adjusted to ensure adequate mixing and
sample circulation. Larger volumes and viscous samples will
process more quickly and effectively with the addition of a mixer
or stir bar.

Note: Processing volumes are application specific. There are
many variables (viscosity, concentration, etc.) that can affect the
min/max processing volumes and processing times.
In addition, the amplitude setting needed for an application must
be determined empirically.
