Cup Horn

Cup horns offer indirect sonication and function as high intensity ultrasonic water baths. Samples can be processed in sealed tubes or vials eliminating aerosols and cross contamination. Cup Horns are ideal for sterile or pathogenic sample processing and can be used to process samples too small for probe-style horns.

The horn is mounted within a glass cup and the cup is filled with water. A Sample tube is placed in the water reservoir above the horn. A tube holder for 1.5mL tubes is included. Cavitation is produced in the water, processing the sample within the tube.

The Sound Enclosure (#432A) is highly recommended for all Cup Horn users. In addition to reducing sonication noise to safe levels, it securely supports the Cup Horn in the proper position.
