Instead, ultrasonic energy is transmitted through the tube wall, generating mechanical effects within the sealed container that support effective mixing and disruption. This contact-free energy transfer helps maintain cleaner handling conditions while enabling consistent sample processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system typically uses a cycle-based approach, combining an ultrasonic “on” phase with an “interval” phase that repeats until the defined total runtime is completed. This structured cycling helps control temperature build-up and improves reproducibility across multiple samples and runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard method begins by transferring the sample into a compatible 2 mL tube and placing it into the designated holder. Users then configure key parameters such as power level, ultrasonic duration, interval timing, and total processing time via the touchscreen interface before initiating the run. Once processing is complete, the tube is removed and the sample can proceed to downstream workflows such as extraction, amplification, purification, or further analytical preparation depending on the protocol requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContact Free Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ FC Series Technical Specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiUltra™ FC 8020\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltrasonic power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal time per run\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 s (30–600 s settable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltrasonic time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–99 s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterval time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–99 s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–100%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSamples per session\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–8 pcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible tube types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 mL EP tube; 2 mL freezing tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperation mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3-inch touch screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic electric compression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52072274919735,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/contact-free-ultrasonicator318660554.webp?v=1777593409","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/fr\/products\/contact-free-ultrasonicator","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
