Ultrasonic homogenizers use ultrasonic sound waves to create cavitation, which is the rapid formation and collapse of minute bubbles. These imploding bubbles vibrate violently, creating mechanical waves that disrupt the surrounding cells/particles. Ultrasonic homogenizers are heavily used in life sciences laboratories to disrupt cells and tissues. Applications include tissue preparation, nucleic acid extraction and the […]
