Ultrasonic Dispersion and Deagglomeration
The application of ultrasound in liquids enables to break agglomerates in order to obtain a homogeneous solution by the action of the ultrasonic cavitation. This is a common application of ultrasonic devices.
Ultrasonic emulsification
Emulsification consist in the mixing of two immiscible substances. High frequency ultrasonic devices provide the power required to disperse a liquid phase into a second phase in small droplets.
Degassing
Ultrasound inside a liquid medium reduces the small gas bubbles suspended in the liquid.
Cell lysis
Ultrasound, by breaking the cell membrane, allows the cell destruction. This application is for example useful for bacteria destruction.
Extraction
Ultrasound breaks cell membranes to release its contents. This application is used in various application fields (e.g.: vegetal extraction, molecular extraction, catalytic extraction…).
Sonochemistry
Based on acoustic energy that implements physical effects such as cavitation, the use of ultrasound improves the efficiency, quality and speed of chemical reactions.
