The Story
Contact Free Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ FC Series
The QualiUltra™ FC Series Contact Free Ultrasonicator is engineered for rapid, non-contact processing of sealed microtubes. It delivers ultrasonic energy directly into samples without the need for a probe, helping minimize carryover risk and supporting cleaner, more controlled workflows. This system is optimized for fast sample pretreatment in trace analysis, on-site screening, and quick detection applications. Users can define sonication time, interval cycles, and total runtime to ensure consistent and repeatable processing across multiple runs.
The QualiUltra™ FC Series is a compact Contact Free Ultrasonicator built for efficient low-volume processing in standard 2 mL tubes. It removes common limitations associated with probe-based sonication, such as complex setup and direct sample contact. With adjustable intensity and programmable cycle settings, it allows precise control over each protocol while maintaining straightforward operation. This design supports contamination-aware sample preparation and improves workflow efficiency in routine laboratory environments.
Contact Free Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ FC Series Applications
Rapid detection and field inspection workflows
This system is suited for fast sample pretreatment where quick turnaround is critical. It enables efficient processing of trace-level samples prior to downstream analytical or detection procedures, supporting time-sensitive screening workflows.
Disruption of microbial and cellular structures
Contact-free ultrasonic processing supports effective breakdown of cells, bacteria, viruses, spores, and related biological structures. This process helps release intracellular material required for further analysis and processing steps.
Support for intracellular extraction workflows
The technology assists in isolating intracellular proteins, membrane proteins, nucleic acids, and other bioactive compounds. The sealed-tube format helps maintain clean handling conditions during sample preparation.
Pathogen-focused research applications
This platform is suitable for research workflows involving bacteria and viruses. The contact-free approach helps lower the chance of aerosol formation and reduces direct exposure during sample processing compared to open systems.
Small-volume formulation and preparation processes
The system is also suitable for low-volume applications such as liposome preparation, emulsification, and extraction procedures. Adjustable cycle settings allow controlled energy delivery for sensitive formulations and specialized protocols.
Standards Compliance
IEC 61010-1
Defines safety requirements for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory environments, ensuring safe operation under intended conditions.
IEC 61326-1
Specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for laboratory and analytical equipment, supporting stable performance in standard lab settings without interference issues.
ISO 20427:2023
Provides guidance for standardized ultrasonic dispersion procedures, supporting consistent method development and helping align experimental documentation across workflows.
Contact Free Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ FC Series Key Features
Contact-free sealed tube processing
Enables ultrasonic treatment inside closed microtubes without direct probe contact, supporting cleaner handling and reduced cross-contamination risk.
Optimized for trace-level pretreatment
Designed for rapid processing of low-volume samples, making it suitable for fast detection workflows and field-based analytical applications.
Programmable cycle control
Allows users to define sonication duration, interval timing, and total run time, helping maintain consistent and repeatable processing conditions.
Adjustable power output
Power settings can be fine-tuned to match different sample types and desired outcomes, enabling better control over energy delivery.
Multiple sample processing per run
Supports batch handling of several tubes in a single session, improving workflow efficiency and throughput.
Intuitive touchscreen interface
A compact touchscreen control system simplifies setup and reduces operator training requirements while minimizing process variability.
Automatic tube positioning system
Automatic compression-based coupling ensures stable tube placement during operation, supporting uniform energy transfer and reliable results.
Theory and Method
This Ultrasonicator operates without direct probe insertion into the sample. Instead, ultrasonic energy is transmitted through the tube wall, generating mechanical effects within the sealed container that support effective mixing and disruption. This contact-free energy transfer helps maintain cleaner handling conditions while enabling consistent sample processing.
The system typically uses a cycle-based approach, combining an ultrasonic “on” phase with an “interval” phase that repeats until the defined total runtime is completed. This structured cycling helps control temperature build-up and improves reproducibility across multiple samples and runs.
A standard method begins by transferring the sample into a compatible 2 mL tube and placing it into the designated holder. Users then configure key parameters such as power level, ultrasonic duration, interval timing, and total processing time via the touchscreen interface before initiating the run. Once processing is complete, the tube is removed and the sample can proceed to downstream workflows such as extraction, amplification, purification, or further analytical preparation depending on the protocol requirements.
