Sonifier Cell Disruptor Continuous Flow Attachment DESCRIPTION: The stainless steel, in-line continuous flow cell uniformly processes low-viscosity solutions at rates up to 10 GPH (38 LPH). It can be used to emulsify, disperse, and homogenize by pumping a solution through a zone of intense ultrasonic activity. The degree of processing is controlled by varying the amplitude of the ultrasonic horn and the flow rate. Some solutions may require recirculating until the desired results are obtained. The continuous flow attachment incorporates a cooling jacket through which a suitable cooling liquid can be circulated to retard heat build-up during extended operation. The attachment may also be sealed in a closed system to assure sterile conditions and inhibit contamination when working with infectious materials. Overall Dimensions: Length - 5” Diameter - 3.8” (includes ports) TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Production of vaccines and antigens • Emulsification of immiscible liquids (with or w/o surfactants) • Removal of cell walls • Dispersing metal oxides in solvents USAGE PROCEDURES: To use your Branson continuous flow attachment:

1. Gently screw the clean continuous flow attachment onto the threaded disruptor horn (compress neoprene “O” rings to engage threads) until horn tip touches the orifice disc. Caution: Horn tip can damage the orifice disc if components are screwed too tightly together. 2. When horn tip is in contact with the disc, unscrew one complete turn. Each complete revolution increases or decreases the distance of the horn tip from the orifice by 0.30” (0.762 mm). As a result, flow rates can be controlled and reset when needed. The smaller the distance between the tip and the disc, the slower the flow...
