Portable Ultrasonicator

Portable Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ Port Series

The QualiUltra™ Port Series Portable Ultrasonicator provides probe-type sonication in a compact, space-saving design, ideal for small-volume sample preparation. It supports a wide range of applications, including emulsification, dispersion, homogenization, extraction, degassing, cleaning, and nanomaterial processing—making it a practical alternative when a full bench-top system is unnecessary.

This series includes two models: the QualiUltra™ Port 250 for standard laboratory workflows and the QualiUltra™ Port 250S with battery support for field and mobile operations. A 4.3-inch touchscreen interface allows consistent parameter control, helping maintain repeatable results across different users.

Using ultrasonic cavitation at the probe tip, the system generates strong shear forces and efficient micro-mixing within liquid samples. This action enhances cell disruption and breaks down particle clusters effectively. Pulse mode operation assists in controlling temperature rise, while adjustable power output enables precise energy control for both sensitive biomolecules and more demanding dispersions.

Portable Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ Port Series Applications

Small-Volume Cell Disruption and Lysis
Probe-based sonication enables efficient disruption of cells and microorganisms in microtubes and small vessels, supporting the release of intracellular components for downstream analysis.

Emulsification and Homogenization
Ultrasonic energy enhances microscale mixing, resulting in stable emulsions and uniform sample consistency. Ideal for formulation testing and rapid laboratory trials.

Nanomaterial Dispersion and Deagglomeration
Cavitation-driven shear forces break apart soft agglomerates and improve dispersion uniformity, supporting consistent treatment across multiple samples in comparative studies.

Extraction and Sample Pretreatment
Ultrasound accelerates solvent interaction and mass transfer in small volumes, reducing preparation time for routine workflows and screening processes.

Field and On-Site Sample Preparation
The QualiUltra™ Port 250S features built-in battery support for mobile use, allowing sample preparation directly at collection sites or within vehicle-based lab setups.

Theory and Method

The Portable Ultrasonicator converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibrations at the probe tip. These vibrations generate alternating pressure waves in the liquid, leading to cavitation. As microscopic bubbles form and collapse, they create localized shear forces that support cell disruption, enhance mixing, and improve particle dispersion. Pulse operation is commonly used to help manage heat buildup during extended processing.

A typical workflow begins by selecting the appropriate probe and immersing it into the sample. The user then sets the desired power level and processing time. Many protocols rely on short pulse cycles with rest intervals, followed by temperature checks before repeating if required. After completion, the probe is rinsed, and the sample proceeds to extraction, analysis, or formulation stages.
