Page 10: Introduction
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Soniprep 150 Plus Ultrasonic Disintegrator is a self-contained unit designed for convenient tabletop operation. It incorporates an acoustic cabinet, which reduces externally audible noise and ultrasound to a safe level. A transparent door allows observation of the sample during sonication. The apparatus is factory adjusted to the user's electrical supply voltage and frequency. - Page 11 INTRODUCTION Front PROBE CONTROL PANEL SAMPLE CLAMP DOOR LOCK PLATFORM Rear PROCESS TIMER CONNECTION (POWER) VESSEL CONNECTION WATT METER (INLET/OUTLET) CONNECTION PROCESS TIMER CONNECTION (CONTROL) FUSES MAINS CONNECTION...

Page 12: Control Panel Description
INTRODUCTION Control Panel Description The control panel is situated on the right hand side of the unit. A brief description of their individual functions follows: Amplitude Meter - The meter is calibrated in microns and monitors the probe amplitude, that is, the actual movement peak-to-peak that is taking place at the transducer/probe interface. - Page 13 INTRODUCTION AMPLITUDE INCREASE AMPLITUDE DECREASE TIME INCREASE TIME DECREASE POWER ON POWER OFF Control Panel...

Location of the Instrument and Electrical Connections Place the Soniprep 150 Plus on a suitable table or bench and ensure that at the rear of the instrument is at least 50mm (2’) away from the wall to allow... -
Page 15: Probes
Note: Probes are specially designed to suit the Soniprep 150 Plus models and are tuned to 23 KHz. Exponential Microprobe This probe has been specifically designed for the treatment of small quantities of sample, up to 5ml. -
Page 16: Probe Maintenance
PROCESSING SAMPLES Sometimes, when the solution is thoroughly aerated, the usual process noise from the beaker or test tube will stop, i.e. no buzz or vibration will be heard. Again, this is because there is little transfer of energy. When these conditions occur, turn the power off for a few seconds and set the probe deeper. -
Page 17: Testing Probe Performance
PROCESSING SAMPLES Testing Probe Performance The following test should be carried out so that users may monitor the performance of each probe. Measure the temperature rise obtained at maximum power after 5 minutes with the following volumes of chilled water (i.e. below 10°C). Probe Volume of Chilled Water Exponential... -
Page 18: Processing Samples
As there is sufficient force generated by the Soniprep 150 Plus to fracture or shatter glass, the probe tip must not be allowed to come in contact with, or come close to, the bottom of the vessel. -
Page 19: Batch Treatment Vessel
PROCESSING SAMPLES When fitting sealing caps, the air pressure which may have built up can be released by lifting the edge of the cap slightly. The caps are manufactured from a material which is suitable for autoclaving. When treating samples in any of the test tubes the temperature of the suspension will rise, especially if the quantities of the material being treated are small. -
Page 20: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Misuses include: a) Impeding air flow. b) Incorrect positioning of the probes with respect to the transducer (see section 2.4). c) Lack of probe maintenance (see section 2.5). d) Probe in liquid (foaming) Manual Control a) Plug the 3 pin plug into the power outlet. Switch the green supply rocker switch to its ‘ON’... - Page 21 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS USE THE CONTROL SWITCHES ON THE PROCESS TIMER ONLY WHILST THE PROCESS TIMER IS PLUGGED INTO THE SONIPREP APART FROM TURNING THE SONIPREPON AT THE MAINS AND SETTING UP THE AMPLITUDE, THE PROCESS TIMER SHOULD BE USED TO CONTROL THE SONIPREP ONLY.
