![]() The bubbles are very small at the start, but grow and coalesce, vibrate violently, and then collapse in the process called cavitation. ![]() The probe creates sound waves that produce pressure, causing liquid streaming and rapid bubble formation. In the laboratory, sonication can be applied via an ultrasonic probe, also called a sonicator or sonic dismembrator. When sound waves at ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz) are used, the process is called ultrasonification. An electrical signal is converted into a vibration that can mix solutions, dissolve solids into liquids, and remove dissolved gas from liquids. Sonication uses sound waves to disrupt substances. Devices employing ultrasonic waves to homogenize samples, particularly cells/subcellular structures in suspension also includes accessories and support devices such as power options, probes, sound enclosures, and more.
