Overview

The Q55 is a compact and cost effective ultrasonic processor with a smaller footprint than any ultrasonic homogenizer on the market.

This 55 watt unit is effective for standard cell disruption and many other small volume applications.  Probes are available in three different sizes.

The Q55 Sonicator can be purchased with or without a standard 1/8” diameter probe.  A variety of probe / horn options are available.

The Q55 Sonicator may be used on a stand or as a handheld device.

Please note: There is a 2 - 3 week lead time on all Sonicator units.  stand is not included with purchase.

FAQ

Does the Q55 have any mechanism that would allow it to be controlled remotely, such as by computer?

No, it does not. If you require remote control of a Sonicator, the Q500 and Q125 have a 9-pin D-sub connector which enables such functionality.

 

I have a high-temperature application. What is the maximum temperature that I can operate the probe in?

The probe itself can withstand temperatures as high as 140°F / 60°C. Higher temperature applications can be accommodated, but they require a custom probe. Please contact us with the details of your application to see if a special probe can be designed for it.

 

What are the probes made of?

Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V.

 

How viscous of a substance can a Sonicator homogenize?

A good rule of thumb is if you can’t pour it then you can’t sonicate it. Substances with approximately the viscosity of honey (around 4000 cps) are the most viscous substances that a Sonicator can effectively process.

 

Is the Q55 UL listed or CSA approved?

Not explicitly, but all Sonicators are cTUVus certified. This certification combines the common UL and CSA standards for electronic equipment and is accepted as equivalent for most regulatory purposes.

 

How frequently does the ultrasonic horn (probe) need to be replaced?

Unfortunately that doesn't have a set answer. There are too many variables that effect the life of a horn and Qsonica has never done a study on the life span of a horn. Under light use and an application that is easy on the horn, an ultrasonic horn might last years. With continuous use and an unfavorable application, it might only last days.

The life span of a horn is dependent on multiple factors, including but not limited to:

  • The presence of solids. Particulate will wear the horn. The larger, harder, and more concentrated the particulate, the faster the wear.
  • Acidic solutions will wear the horn faster than neutral or basic solutions.
  • Using the probe at higher amplitude will wear the horn faster.
  • The size of the probe. Smaller diameter horns wear faster than large ones, as they operate at higher amplitudes and have less titanium available to wear.

Ultimately, you will need to empirically determine how long your horn will last in your application. You'll know it needs replacing when your processing starts to become less efficient.

Mi impresora
Style: Starter Bundle
I am very happy with my printer. The print quality is excellent; the colors are vibrant, and the details look crisp. That said, I must admit that I have faced a few challenges when adjusting the tones, but I believe that with a little more practice, I will master them. Overall, it is an investment I highly recommend for anyone looking to get started in the world of sublimation.

Prints beautifully
Style: Starter Bundle
Prints sublimation prints perfectly. Colors are bold and vibrant. The first printer I used was an inkjet that I converted to sublimation. Wish I’d gotten this one first. It’s a world of difference compared to the print quality. So easy to download the drivers to your computer. The printer setup is extremely easy, just follow the prompts. Then, just click and print. Paper tray doesn’t hold a lot, but then again you don’t want too much paper to sit in the paper tray, because it starts to curl around the edge if left to sit out too long. Depending on how much graphics you are printing determines the speed of printing.

Great beginner friendly sublimation printer
Style: Starter Bundle
I have had this for a few months now and I will say still getting the hang of sublimation but it was easy to set up. I wish it was compatible with a tablet. I had to use my daughters laptop instead but it was worth every penny. Great entry level sublimation printer!
