Multi-Element Probes0 pages

MULTI - ELEMENT PROBES
The high throughput multi-element probes meet the needs of repetitive tasks by processing identically numerous deepwells
simultaneously. They screw into the converter in place of the standard 1⁄2" (13 mm) probe, and can be used either manually
or with automated systems. The energy delivered by each tip is uniform within 2%. With the four, eight, and twenty fourelement probes, the spacing between the tips (center to center) is 22⁄32" (18 mm) and the length of the special microtips is
57⁄16" (139 mm). With the twelve-element probe the spacing between tips (center to center) is 1" (25 mm) and the length of
the probe is 513⁄32" (113 mm). With the ninety-six element probe, spacing between the tips (center to center) is 11⁄32" (9 mm)
and the length of the mini microtips is 11⁄16" (17 mm). With the four, eight and twenty four-element probes, the diameter of
the special microtips is 1⁄8" (3 mm). With the twelve-element probe, the diameter of the probe is 1⁄4" (6 mm). With the ninetysix element probe the diameter of the mini microtip is 5⁄64" (2 mm). Multi-element probes are fabricated from titanium alloy
Ti-6Al-4V and are autoclavable. Connecting stud 1⁄2 - 20. Available with 3⁄8 - 24 adapting stud to enable connection to a 20
kHz converter not manufactured by Sonics.
Note: Custom formatted multi-element probes are available upon request.

HEAVY DUTY MULTI - ELEMENT PROBE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
Supports the converter and multi-element probe with minimum deflection.
Recommended when working with twenty-four and ninety-six element probes.
Base: 10" x 10" (254 x 254 mm). Height: 24" (610 mm). Part No. 830-00320

SOUND ABATING ENCLOSURE
Even though ultrasonic vibrations are above the human audible range, ultrasonic processing produces a high pitched noise in the form of harmonics which emanate from the vessel walls and the
fluid surface. The sound abating enclosure permits extended processing without discomfort by
reducing the sound by 35db. The probe/converter assembly is supported by the converter clamp,
and the converter cable is fed through the 3⁄4" (19 mm) opening at the top. Side access ports accommodate the tubing delivering the coolant and the sample to the processing vessel while the door is
closed. The unit is faced on the exterior with white laminate, and on the interior with white
waterproof polyethylene noise abating material. The access door permits observation during treatment and protects the operator against accidental splashing. Support rod and light duty converter
clamp are included. Outside dimensions (H x W x D): 30" x 14" x 14" (762 x 355 x 355 mm).
