Dry Contactless Ultrasonicator – QualiUltra™ DCL Series
An Ultrasonicator in the QualiUltra™ DCL Series is a dry, non-contact system that processes trace samples inside a sealed tube. The design avoids probe-to-sample contact, which helps reduce contamination risk and simplifies setup compared with classic probe ultrasonication. A bottom ultrasound module transfers energy into the tube, while semiconductor cooling maintains a low-temperature workflow to help protect target activity.
QualiUltra™ DCL is built for rapid pretreatment in fast detection workflows, including nucleic-acid preparation steps. After processing, samples can move directly into amplification or hybridization workflows without extra handling steps. Control is simple and direct, using button operation with an LCD display.
QualiUltra™ DCL is a compact, bench-friendly Ultrasonicator designed for small-volume wall or membrane breaking in sealed 2.0 mL ultrasound sample tubes. Working volume is 500–1000 µL, which fits many trace-sample protocols. The platform targets rapid results, with the source describing effective processing that can be achieved in about two minutes when samples are appropriate.
Cooling is integrated using a semiconductor refrigeration approach, supporting an 8–12°C operating temperature range during processing. This helps labs manage heat rise that can affect proteins, nucleic acids, and other sensitive targets. Data storage supports saved parameter sets for repeatable workflows.
