Handheld Ultrasonic homogenizer for Lab Scale Plant Extraction

SP-30-150H Handheld Ultrasonic Liquid Processor also known as ultrasonic homogenizer, ultrasonic cell pulverizer, extraction instrument, dispersion instrument, sonicator, emulsifier; It is one of the common equipment for de pretreatment of laboratory samples. Its characteristics are light, easy to assemble and use, and widely used.

Emulsions are dispersions of two or more immiscible liquids. Highly intensive ultrasound supplies the power needed to disperse a liquid phase (dispersed phase) in small droplets in a second phase (continuous phase). In the dispersing zone, imploding cavitation bubbles cause intensive shock waves in the surrounding liquid and result in the formation of liquid jets of high liquid velocity. At appropriate energy density levels, ultrasound can well achieve a mean droplet sizes below 1 micron (micro-emulsion).

Ultrasound creates acoustic cavitation, which produces violently imploding vacuum bubbles, causing shock waves, microjets and strong shear forces as well as extreme local temperatures (~5,000 K)and pressures (~1,000 atm). These extreme conditions result in exceptionally efficient mixing, yielding nanoemulsions with very small droplet sizes and enormous contact areas between all components.
