Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the VCX Series Ultrasonic Processors, specifically the 500 and 750 Watt models, designed for small to medium volume applications ranging from 250 microliters to 1 liter. Key features include energy setpoint monitoring, automatic tuning, temperature control, and real-time display capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Energy Setpoint: Monitors energy in Joules and stops ultrasonics when the desired energy is dispensed.
  • Wattmeter: Displays power delivered to the probe in watts.
  • Automatic Tuning: Eliminates the need for constant power supply adjustments.
  • Temperature Control: Prevents overheating by terminating ultrasonics at a set temperature, ranging from 1°C to 100°C.
  • Reproducibility: Stores up to ten procedures for consistent results and reduced variability.
  • Programmable Microprocessor: Ensures digital accuracy and repeatability.
  • Amplitude Compensation: Maintains uniform probe amplitude despite varying conditions.
  • Real-Time Display: Continuously shows set and run parameters for process monitoring.
  • Variable Power Output: Allows setting of ultrasonic vibrations to desired amplitude.
  • Process Timer: Controls processing time from 1 second to 10 hours.
  • Elapsed Time Indicator: Tracks processing duration.
  • On/Off Pulser: Enables safe treatment of temperature-sensitive samples with independent control of on and off cycles.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Menu-driven prompts guide through functions.
  • Compact Design: Small footprint optimizes bench space.
Specifications:
  • Power Supply: VCX 500 - 500 Watts, VCX 750 - 750 Watts, Frequency: 20 kHz.
  • Dimensions: 9 1/4" x 7 1/2" x 13 1/2" (235 x 190 x 340 mm), Weight: 15 lbs (6.8 kg).
  • Sealed Converter: Part No. CV 334, PZT crystals, Diameter: 2 1/2" (63.5 mm), Length: 7 1/4" (183 mm), Weight: 2 lbs (900 g).
  • Converter Cable: Length: 6' (1.8 m), Part No. 201-0300.
  • Standard Probe: Tip diameter: 1/2" (13 mm), Processing capability: 10 ml to 250 ml, Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V.
  • Temperature Probe: Monitors up to 100°C, Stainless steel, Part No. 830-00060.
  • Tool Kit: Includes open wrench and two spanner wrenches.
  • Electrical Requirements: Shipped for 117 volts, 50/60 Hz, export options available.
Ordering Information: Models available are VCX 500 and VCX 750, shipped with a 1/2" probe with replaceable tip, tool kit, and instruction manual. Optional accessories are listed on pages 11 through 16.
Important Notes:
  • Do not use a probe with a replaceable tip for samples with organic solvents or low surface tension liquids; use solid probe Part No. 630-0219 instead.
  • For larger volumes, use continuous flow cell Part No. 630-0495 or VCX 1500.

ULTRASONIC PROCESSORS FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM VOLUME APPLICATIONS 500 and 750 Watt Ultrasonic Processors - VCX Series - 250 microliters to 1 liter* Real time display . . . □ Exclusive Energy Setpoint The energy setpoint continuously monitors the amount of energy in Joules (watts x seconds), that is being delivered to the probe, and terminates the ultrasonics when the desired amount of energy has been dispensed. Digitally displays the actual amount of power in watts that is being delivered to the probe. □ Automatic Tuning and Frequency Control Eliminates the need for constant adjustment of the power □ Integrated Temperature Controller Precludes harmful overheating of the sample and guarantees process integrity by terminating the ultra- sonics when the sample temperature reaches a predetermined limit. Allows process control and Time saving memory stores up to ten procedures to facil- itate protocol duplication, automate repetitive tasks, and eliminate technician-to-technician method variability. □ Microprocessor Based - Programmable Digital accuracy and repeatability assures adherence to the most exacting protocol. □ Automatic Amplitude Compensation Ensures uniform probe amplitude regardless of the vary- ing loading conditions encountered during the processing cycle. □ On Demand Real Time Display Provides a window on the process. No more assumptions. No more approximations. Pressing a button enables all set and run parameters to be continuously displayed on the screen, providing instant operating mode confirmation without process interruption. □ Variable Power Output Control Allows the ultrasonic vibrations at the probe tip to be set to any desired amplitude. Selected output level is clearly □ Ten Hour Process Timer Controls the processing time from 1 second to □ Elapsed Time Indicator Monitors both the elapsed time and the duration of □ Independent On/Off Pulser Enables safe treatment of temperature-sensitive samples at high intensity, and provides mixing by repeatedly allowing the sample to settle back under the probe after each burst. Both on and off cycles are independently controllable from 1 second to 59 seconds. Menu driven fill-in-the-blank prompts provide intuitive guidance through all functions. □ Smallest Footprint In Its Class Ultra-compact design eases emplacement and optimizes bench space. Only 7V" x 1VI" (1 90 x 340 mm). *For larger volumes use continuous flow cell Part No. 630-0495 or VCX 1500. Laboratory stand, converter clamp and temperature probe are not included. ^ I S* SONICS & MATERIALS, INC., 53 CHURCH HILL ROAD, NEWTOWN, CT 06470-1614 USA 1-800-745-1105
