BRANSONSonifier® SFX150 Cell Disruptors and Homogenizers The Sonifier® SFX150 is part of the new lineup of Sonifiers from Branson, designed to bring the industry’s most advanced sample-processing capabilities to your laboratory. Geared toward low-volume samples ranging from 0.2 to 150 mL, the Sonifier SFX150 delivers up to 150 watts of power. And at 40 kHz, it’s quiet enough to operate on a lab bench without a sound enclosure. Because it is available with either a conventional or a handheld converter, you can use the SFX150 in a stack configuration to process longer-duration samples, or process samples quickly by hand using the comfortable, ergonomically-designed handheld converter. • Handheld Converter. Branson’s exclusive handheld converter is designed with the user in mind. The handheld converter offers an ergonomic grip for comfort and control, and a recessed pushbutton and LED indicator for assured operation. • Energy Mode. In Energy Mode, the SFX Series power supply manages the processing cycle to deliver a precise, user-determined input of ultrasonic energy (measured in joules), either continuously or in individual pulses. The SFX Series automatically compensates for any variability, extending or shortening the cycle as needed to deliver the precise energy output. • Process Monitoring. In operation, Sonifier SFX Series monitors ongoing processes on a scrollable, digital screen, providing continuous updates of key variables including power level, energy usage, sample temperature, and experiment progress. • Sample-Processing Programs. For assured repeatability and precision on a greater scale, the SFX Series enables users to create and store up to 20 sampleprocessing programs. Program parameters include continuous or pulsed ultrasonics; time, energy, or temperature control modes; pulse on-time/energy, off-time and total on-time/energy; or amplitude as a percentage.

Sonifier® SFX150 Features • 0 kHz ultrasonics for quiet tabletop operation. 4 • Sample sizes from 0.2 to 150 mL. • igh-efficiency, handheld and stand-mountable H converters require no internal cooling. • crollable, multifunction screen with pushbuttons. S • Continuous or pulsed ultrasonics. • mplitude control range from 10 to 100%. A • icrotip mode limits amplitude to 70% to extend M tool life. • ontrol modes include time, temperature, C and energy. • rue temperature control manages sample T temperature within user-specified limits (requires separate temperature probe). • n-process feedback displays...

Microtips: These smaller, high-intensity tips are ideal for processing smaller samples in Eppendorf vials or similar vessels. Sizes range from 3/32" to 1/4"....

Rosette Cell: Branson’s Rosette Cell provides a unique flow pattern of substances for exposure to ultrasonic energy during circulation through the cell. When it is immersed in a cooling bath, the enlarged glass surface area and circulation through the side arms provide an efficient means of heat exchange. Acoustic Enclosure: Operating a Sonifier SFX Series in the Soundproof Enclosure can minimize mechanical noise produced by ultrasonic processing. The sturdy cabinet is lined with waterproof, sound-absorbing material, which is impervious to most solutions or laboratory reagents and can be cleaned...
