The Vibra-Cell High Intensity Ultrasonic Processor acts as a versatile and powerful cell disruptor, disintegrator, homogenizer, emulsifier and degasser. 

Can process a wide range of samples from microlitres to gallons. 

Disrupts cells, bacteria, spores or tissues by converting 50/60Hz voltage to electrical energy and mechanical vibrations. 

The Vibra-Cell is supplied with a threaded end titanium horn and replaceable titanium tip (autoclavable). Our lab has three tips:

  • the original microtip (one to 15 ml)
  • a medium-sized tip (10 to 50 ml)
  • a large tip (50 to 500 ml)

For more information about arranging use of the above equipment, please contact Champika Fernando (306-966-7228), WCVM molecular microbiology lab co-ordinator.
