High Volume Flocell

Flocells offer inline/continuous, large volume, sample processing. The sample may be processed in a single pass, recirculated through multiple times or have a multi-unit configuration for faster processing. The type of configuration and actual flow rate are dependent on the individual application, sample type and desired end result.

The liquid sample is pumped into the Flocell through the inlet at the bottom of the unit. As the sample passes through the cavitation field, it is processed. The processed liquid exits the unit through an outlet port. The degree of processing can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of sonication as well as flow rate.

The unit is recommended for processing volumes of 5L or larger. Routine applications include emulsification, cell lysis, degassing, homogenization, solubilizing, deagglomerating and dispersing.

The Flocell is compatible with the Q2000 system. The #4705 Flocell has 1/2" sanitary connections and includes the #4676 probe/horn. Sonication produces heat and this unit should be used with an external heat exchanger and chiller to maintain an acceptable sample temperature.

Note: A pump, tank, chiller and other common accessories are sold separately. See Accessories for more information.
