UP200Ht – Handheld Ultrasonic Homogenizer

The UP200Ht (200W, 26kHz) is part of the new series of Hielscher’s 200 watt ultrasonic homogenizers which come with broad range of new accessories. The UP200HP includes a generator and transducer fused together which makes it a small and most compact system. The new features include digital control and touch screen, automatic data recording, intuitive operation and ergonomic shapely design for the most user-friendly use and working comfort.

The device functions and the various accessories allow different applications and the coverage of very wide parameter configurations. Typical applications for this powerful ultrasonic device are homogenization, dispersing, emulsification, disintegration, cell disruption, degassing and sonochemistry. Hielscher designed this new 200W homogenizer to give the user a high flexibility, ease of use and a new level of accuracy and control.

Generally, the UP200Ht is used for the sonication of sample volumes from 0.1 to 1000mL. Hielscher offers various sonotrodes from 1 to 40mm tip diameter. Whilst the 40mm sonotrode transmits the ultrasound smoothly across a relatively large surface, the sonotrodes with smaller tip diameter operate at higher amplitudes and at higher intensities, e.g. for destructive applications. The UP200Ht can be also used for the production of bigger quantities, mostly in continuous flow with the use of flow cells and the appropriate sonotrodes. In combination with the flow cell FC7K, the material can be sonicated in a continuous flow-through mode, e.g. at a flow rate of 20 to 200mL per minute. The stainless steel flow cell is pressurizable up to 5 bars. By this, continuous sonication processes can be simulated in smallest scale. Due to its reliability and IP41 grade, the UP200Ht can be operated 24 hours per day (24h/7d), allowing for the processing of up to 180L per day (depending on the application).

The versatility of the ultrasonic lab device is not only performed by the suitability for various applications but also by the flexible use. The user decides according to the application, the processing environment and the duration of sonication, weather the device is used as a handheld or stand-mounted ultrasonic lab device.
