UCD-1500 Ultrasonic Cell Disruptor
Ultrasonic power supply with automatic frequency tracking for consistent cavitation efficiency
Automatic frequency tracking with real-time detection of the transducer's optimal resonant frequency to maintain consistent cavitation efficiency. Precise frequency control ensures uniform energy output throughout the process, a key requirement for experimental reproducibility. Processing volume: 50~1200 mL; Power: 1500W..

Product Overview
The UCD-1500 ultrasonic cell disruptor features a new digital power supply with an integrated high-performance DSP processor. Utilizing digital frequency synthesis and digital phase-locked loop composite control, it delivers precise automatic frequency tracking, high integration, and exceptional frequency adaptability. Available in standard, general-purpose, and pilot-scale models to handle various sample volumes, this series offers continuously adjustable time and power settings. It effectively disrupts animal and plant tissues, cells, and bacteria, and is also ideal for emulsification, separation, dispersion, extraction, cleaning, and accelerating chemical reactions.
How It Works

Leveraging the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves in liquids, the transducer converts electrical energy into high-intensity shear forces at the tool head via the horn. This creates rapid, alternating pressure cycles that cause bubbles to expand and collapse violently, rupturing cells. Additionally, intense acoustic turbulence accelerates particles, driving collisions between particles or with vessel walls to achieve cell disruption, emulsification, and separation.
