[labnetwork] Portable/Dipper Sonicators - Emulsifiers

[Demis D. John]

We often run into this issue where a user's beaker doesn't quite fit into
our benchtop sonicators, adding significant complexity to users and
reducing process flexibility.

I am looking for a handheld ultrasonicator that users could dip into their
beakers.  I'm thinking of something like a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush or
Water-Pik, for example (yes - I thought of it while at the dentist!). But
solvent compatible.

*Can anyone share experiences/suggestions with handheld sonicators, for
example for Lift-off (in solvents like NMP, ACE, ISO, 300T etc.)?*


I found these "emulsifiers" for biological and chemistry purposes:

Of course we will be dipping these into Solvents - so "spark free"
operation etc might be required for flammability safety.
