Q700CA Sonicator
700 watt system for Nanoemulsions
Cannabis extracts (CBD, THC) must be properly emulsified to become water miscible and be infused into edibles, beverages, tinctures and creams. Sonication is a well-established emulsification technique that breaks down the oils into nanoparticles resulting in a stable emulsion with increased bioavailability. Please read the protocols for more information on the application.
The Q700CA system comes with high intensity (100µm amplitude) probes that are used to form water-soluble nanoemulsions in R&D/Lab Scale volumes from 100mL – 1.5L.
A state-of-the-art touch screen interface offers intuitive control and provides a user-friendly experience. The most important feature of a Sonicator is reproducibility. Improved internal circuitry guarantees more efficient operation, sample-to-sample consistency and most importantly, a reliable end result.
Note: Air cooling of the Converter by a compressed air source is required. The user must provide approximately 10psi (5 cfm) of clean, dry air to prevent overheating of the Sonicator. If you do not have a continuous duty compressor system, we offer a reliable, air-cooling option. See model #Q700CA-AC.
Probes are consumable items which release titanium particulate and require replacement over time. Post-processing sample filtration is recommended.
Ordering information: Part #Q700CA includes the Q700 Sonicator system, a ½” diameter probe (#4776), 1” diameter probe (#4205) and Sound Enclosure (#432B2).
Part #Q700CA-AC includes the #Q700CA package plus our portable air-cooling system to prevent the ultrasonic converter from overheating. This eliminates the need for a continuous duty compressor.
- Full Amplitude Control
- Full amplitude control Amplitude (intensity) is controlled from 1-100% giving a greater degree of resolution and the ability to pinpoint the amplitude needed to effectively process your sample.
- Programmability
- Parameters including processing times, pulse on/off and amplitude can be saved to memory and run by the touch of a button.
- Pulse Mode
- Adjustable pulse On and Off times to reduce the heat gain in temperature sensitive samples.
- Temperature Monitoring
- An optional temperature probe is available for those customers who wish to monitor the temperature of their sample. If the temperature limit is reached, sonication shuts down to prevent overheating.
- RoHS Compliant
- All Qsonica equipment is built lead free.
- Run Multiple Programs In Sequence
- Multiple programs can be run in sequence. For example, the unit can be programmed to sonicate at 50% amplitude for 5 minutes, shut off for 2 minutes and re-start at 25% amplitude for 10 minutes. Up to 5 programs can be run in succession.
- Total Energy Output Display
- Energy delivered to the probe is displayed in both Watts and Joules.
- Auto Tuning
- The Sonicator digitally tracks frequency changes in the converter / tip assembly caused by load and temperature changes and maintains electrical efficiency at all times. Manual tuning is unnecessary.
- Overload Protection
- The unit is equipped with fault detection circuitry to shut down sonication in the event that a fault occurs.
- Touch Screen Control
- A large, color LCD screen clearly displays all operating parameters and options. Intuitively and quickly access any of the Sonicator’s functions with a simple touch.
