The Story
Ultrasonic Microwave Extractor System – QualiUltra™ MES Series
The QualiUltra™ MES Series Ultrasonic Microwave Extractor System integrates microwave energy, ultrasonic processing, and auxiliary functions into a single platform designed to accelerate extraction, dispersion, and reaction workflows. It provides precise control over microwave output, infrared (IR) light-wave input, ultrasonic intensity, UV activation, and magnetic stirring, enabling consistent and repeatable processing conditions across multiple runs. Built-in non-contact infrared temperature monitoring along with multi-layer safety interlocks helps maintain stable and controlled operation during high-temperature applications.
This system is designed for laboratory environments where faster sample preparation is required compared to conventional heating or prolonged solvent-based methods. It is well-suited for environmental testing and analytical sample preparation workflows, where reduced processing time and improved efficiency are critical. The ultrasonic–microwave combination enables more efficient energy transfer, helping streamline complex laboratory procedures.
The QualiUltra™ MES Series features an integrated reactor chamber that merges microwave heating, probe-based ultrasonication, infrared light assistance, optional UV exposure, and magnetic stirring under a unified control interface. Users can create, store, and recall preset methods to maintain uniform operating conditions across different operators and batches. A built-in observation window along with a real-time monitoring display allows continuous process tracking without disrupting ongoing operations.
Ultrasonic Microwave Extractor System – QualiUltra™ MES Series Applications
Biological and biotechnology sample preparation
This Ultrasonicator supports cell disruption workflows for isolating proteins, DNA, RNA, and other intracellular components. It is also applied in controlled DNA fragmentation processes, including ChIP-related preparation, where precise energy delivery is important for reproducible results.
Pharmaceutical and quality control workflows
The system supports mixing, degassing, and sample homogenization tasks commonly used in pharmaceutical analysis and QC laboratories. Ultrasonic processing also assists in forming liposomes and stable emulsions for microencapsulation applications in topical formulations such as creams and lotions.
Chemical synthesis and sonochemical processes
Ultrasonic energy can enhance reaction rates and improve mass transfer, supporting synthesis, catalytic studies, and reaction optimization workflows. The integrated multi-energy control enables detailed evaluation of reaction behavior under different processing conditions.
Industrial process development
Typical industrial applications include emulsion preparation, extraction enhancement, and particle size reduction where consistent processing across batches is required. Multi-mode operation helps streamline development work by allowing direct comparison of processing parameters within a single platform.
Environmental sample extraction
In environmental analysis, sonication is used for treating soil and sediment samples prior to contaminant testing. Compared to conventional Soxhlet-based techniques, this approach can significantly reduce processing time and solvent consumption while maintaining extraction efficiency.
Standards Compliance
UL 61010-1 (United States)
Defines electrical safety requirements for laboratory, measurement, and control equipment. It addresses protection against electric shock, thermal hazards, and mechanical risks in laboratory systems.
IEC 61326-1
Specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for electrical equipment used in laboratory, measurement, and control applications. It ensures stable operation in environments with electromagnetic interference while limiting emissions from the device.
IEC 60519-6
Covers safety requirements for industrial microwave heating and processing equipment, including systems that integrate microwave energy with additional energy sources. It focuses on safe operation, containment, and control of microwave-based processes.
ISO 20427:2023
Provides standardized guidance for ultrasonic dispersion procedures using probe-based sonication systems. It supports consistent method development and documentation for reproducible ultrasonic processing workflows.
Key Features
Integrated multi-energy processing system
The platform combines microwave heating, ultrasonic energy, infrared light-wave support, optional UV exposure, and magnetic stirring within a single coordinated system, enabling flexible and synchronized process control.
Programmable and repeatable method control
Up to 200 customizable programs can be configured with adjustable time settings and module parameters. Methods can be stored, edited, and retrieved via computer storage to maintain consistency across repeated runs.
High-efficiency probe-based ultrasonication
An immersion-type transducer delivers ultrasonic energy directly into the reaction vessel, promoting efficient acoustic energy transfer for improved dispersion, extraction, and reaction support.
Non-contact infrared temperature measurement
Real-time temperature monitoring is provided through infrared sensing, covering a broad operating range from ambient conditions up to 300 °C for stable process oversight.
Operator-centric control and monitoring interface
The system features industrial PLC control with a touchscreen HMI, dual-level password access, and a built-in real-time video monitoring window for continuous observation without interrupting operation.
Integrated safety interlock system
Multiple protective mechanisms, including magnetron temperature protection and door interlock switches, are incorporated to support controlled and secure operation during processing.
Laboratory-grade build and connectivity options
A stainless steel internal chamber ensures durability and chemical resistance, while RJ45 network connectivity allows integration into laboratory data and control systems.
Theory and Method
This Ultrasonicator platform operates through the integration of multiple energy mechanisms within a single controlled process. Microwave energy delivers rapid volumetric heating throughout the sample, while ultrasonic cavitation generates localized shear forces, micro-mixing, and particle disruption within the liquid phase. Magnetic stirring supports uniform bulk movement, helping maintain consistent distribution conditions during processing. Programmable sequencing enables multi-stage workflows instead of relying on a single continuous operating mode.
In a typical procedure, operators define processing time, power levels, and the active modules for each stage of the run. Method settings can include microwave intensity, infrared light-wave support, ultrasonic output, UV activation status, and stirring speed. These parameters can be saved as structured recipes for consistent reuse across multiple experiments or operators. Process temperature is continuously tracked using non-contact infrared measurement, supporting better control of heat-sensitive applications and improving overall process stability.
