Cup horns offer indirect sonication and function as high intensity ultrasonic water baths. Samples can be processed in sealed tubes or vials eliminating aerosols and cross contamination. Cup Horns are ideal for sterile or pathogenic sample processing, and can be used to process samples too small for probe-style horns.
The horn is mounted within an glass cup and the cup is filled with water. A Sample tube is placed in the water reservoir above the horn. Cavitation is produced in the water, processing the sample within the tube. Sonication generates heat so inlets for cooling are located on the side of the cup.
NOTE: The Sound Enclosure (#432B2) is highly recommended for all Cup Horn users. In addition to reducing sonication noise to safe levels, it securely supports the Cup Horn in the proper position. The Sound Enclosure features ports on either side to allow coolant tubing to pass from the Cup Horn to a water source or pump system outside the box.
