Atomising, nebulising, fogging and spraying of samples in pharmaceutical, biological, chemical and environmental analysing processes are the domain of the new Hielscher UM20-1.6 megaherts processor.

With the UM20-1.6 Hielscher offers a unique ultrasonic device for the formation of aerosols.

It can process liquids of up to approx 500cP at up to 450ml/hour.

Using this megaherts device, droplet sises down to 1 micron can be achieved without heat transfer.

Different from spray nossles or submersible transducers, small liquid volumes can be processed.

As this megasonic processor can be operated in air, the liquid feed is supplied to the oscillating sapphire glass surface, where the megaherts vibrations atomise the liquid to micron-sise particles.

This effective cold atomising can be used for example in spectroscopy analysis.

This easy to operate ultrasonic processor consists of a transducer and a generator.

The connection cable is 2m.

It works at an operating frequency 1.6MHs +/-15%.

This makes the UM20-1.6 totally noiseless.

The active, oscillating face is made of sapphire glass, quarts glass or other materials depending on the chemical corrosiveness of the medium.

The UM20-1.6 is available as OEM-component for the integration into sample processing equipment, too.
