Ultrasonic Homogenizers, commonly referred to as "sonicators," are recommended for homogenization and lysis of laboratory samples that do not require traditional grinding or rotor-stator cutting techniques for processing. Small and large ultrasonic probes are available to allow for a variety of sample volumes to be processed. Ultrasonic probes are made of chemical resistant solid titanium. A solid probe allows for less chance of sample loss and cross-contamination between samples.
