Before initial use, ensure the probe is clean and free from any debris. Follow these steps to set up the 4423 Probe with your compatible Qsonica ultrasonic processor:

1. Inspect the Probe: Carefully examine the probe for any signs of damage, bends, or wear. Do not use a damaged probe.
2. Prepare the Processor: Ensure your Qsonica Q55 or Q125 model is powered off and disconnected from the power source before attaching the probe.
3. Attach the Probe: Gently thread the 4423 Probe into the converter horn of your ultrasonic processor. Hand-tighten only; do not overtighten with tools, as this can damage the threads or the probe itself.
4. സജ്ജീകരണം സുരക്ഷിതമാക്കുക: Place the processor and attached probe in a stable position, ensuring the probe tip is correctly positioned within your sample പാത്രം.

Always handle the probe with care to prevent damage to the delicate tip and threads.

പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The 4423 Probe is designed for high-efficiency processing of small volume samples. Follow these guidelines for optimal operation:

• Sampലെ വോളിയം: This probe is optimized for processing volumes between 0.2 mL and 5 mL. Using volumes outside this range may reduce efficiency or cause damage.
• നിമജ്ജന ആഴം: Ensure the probe tip is adequately immersed in the sample. The exact depth may vary based on sample volume and desired effect, but typically the tip should be submerged to prevent cavitation at the liquid surface.
• പവർ ക്രമീകരണങ്ങൾ: Refer to your Q55 or Q125 processor's manual for recommended power settings. Start with lower power and gradually increase as needed, observing the sample's response.
• താപനില നിയന്ത്രണം: Ultrasonic processing generates heat. Monitor sample temperature, especially for heat-sensitive materials. Use a cooling bath or pulsed sonication if temperature control is critical.
• സുരക്ഷ: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye and ear protection, during operation.

The high level performance of this probe is achieved through precise design, ensuring reliable and consistent results when used correctly.

മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്

Proper maintenance extends the life and ensures the continued high performance of your 4423 Probe.

• ഓരോ ഉപയോഗത്തിനും ശേഷം വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Immediately after each use, clean the probe thoroughly. For most applications, rinsing with distilled water and wiping with a soft cloth is sufficient. For stubborn residues, use a mild detergent or appropriate solvent, followed by thorough rinsing.
• വന്ധ്യംകരണം: If sterilization is required, consult your laboratory's standard operating procedures. Autoclaving is generally acceptable for metallic probes, but verify with Qsonica's guidelines if available.
• പരിശോധന: Regularly inspect the probe tip for erosion, pitting, or any signs of wear. A worn tip can significantly reduce efficiency and may require replacement. Also check the threads for damage.
• സംഭരണം: Store the probe in a clean, dry place, protected from physical damage. Avoid storing it with other tools that could scratch or dent its surface.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

If you encounter issues with your 4423 Probe, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Sonication/Low Power:
  • Ensure the probe is securely attached to the converter horn.
  • Verify the processor is powered on and set to the correct frequency/power.
  • Check for visible damage to the probe or converter.
• Ineffective Processing:
  • സ്ഥിരീകരിക്കുകample volume is within the 0.2 mL - 5 mL range.
  • Adjust the immersion depth of the probe tip.
  • Increase the power setting on the ultrasonic processor gradually.
  • Inspect the probe tip for excessive wear or erosion, which can reduce efficiency.
• അമിത താപ ഉൽപ്പാദനം:
  • Consider using a cooling bath for your sample പാത്രം.
  • Implement pulsed sonication cycles (e.g., 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off) to allow for cooling.
  • Reduce the power setting if high temperatures are not desired.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact Qsonica customer support or your authorized distributor for further assistance.
