UP200Ht – Handheld Ultrasonic
Homogenizer
The UP200Ht (200W, 26kHz) is part of the new series of Hielscher’s 200 watt ultrasonic homogenizers which come with broad range of new accessories. The new features include digital control and touch screen, automatic data recording, intuitive operation and ergonomic and shapely design for the most user-friendly use and working comfort.
The device functions and the various accessories
allow for different applications and the coverage of very wide parameter
configurations. Typical applications for this powerful ultrasonic device are
homogenization, dispersing, emulsification, disintegration, cell disruption,
degassing or sonochemistry. Hielscher designed this new 200W homogenizer to
give the user a high flexibility, ease of use and a new level of accuracy and
control. In comparison with its predecessors UP200H and UP200S, the new
ultrasonic device UP200Ht features many additional functions and very smart
user friendliness. With its 200 watts power the UP200Ht offers the same
performance and reliability as UP200H and UP200S, but it differs by its
completely new design that is more comfortable for the handheld and
stand-mounted use. Due to the broad coverage of parameter configurations (by
variation of amplitude, pressure, temperature, flow cell, glass sonotrode,…),
the UP200Ht covers the full range of applications, such as homogenization,
emulsification, dispersion, disintegration, cell disruption & extraction,
degassing as well as sono-chemical and sono-catalytical processes – for small
and medium size volumes. UP200Ht ultrasonic processor Generally, the UP200Ht is
used for the sonication of sample volumes from 0.1 to 1000mL. Hielscher offers
various sonotrodes from 1 to 40mm tip diameter. Whilst the 40mm sonotrode
transmits the ultrasound smoothly across a relatively large surface, the
sonotrodes with smaller tip diameter operate at higher amplitudes and at higher
intensities, e.g. for destructive applications. The UP200Ht can be also used
for the production of smaller quantities, mostly in continuous flow with the
use of flow cells and the appropriate sonotrodes. In combination with the flow
cell FC7K, the material can be sonicated in a continuous flow-through mode,
e.g. at a flow rate of 20 to 200mL per minute. The stainless steel flow cell is
pressurizable up to 5 barg. By this, continuous sonication processes can be
simulated in smallest scale. Due to its reliability and IP41 grade, the UP200Ht
can be operated 24 hours per day (24h/7d), allowing for the processing of up to
180L per day (depending on the application). The versatility of the ultrasonic
lab device is not only performed by the suitability for various applications
but also by the flexible use. The user decides according to the application,
the processing environment and the duration of sonication, weather the device
is used as a handheld or stand-mounted ultrasonic lab device.
