Ultrasonic frequency is defined as sound waves above the range of hearing, nominally 20,000 cycles per second, or 20 kilohertz (KHz). The kHz designation – thousand cycles per second – derives from Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894), who discovered radio waves or radio frequency. Ultrasonic frequency (or frequencies) is a key criterion when purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner […]
Sonication baths are used to prepare samples in research and development, transforming analytes into measurable form. This can involve complex procedures that in many cases must avoid chemical degradation from heat or mechanically induced damage. For example, a sonicator may be used to extract an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from its carrier, or excipient, prior to […]
Spray guns are indispensable tools across numerous industries, from automotive refinishing and manufacturing to artistic applications. However, the very materials they apply – paints, coatings, adhesives – can become their biggest enemy when residues dry and clog critical components. A poorly maintained spray gun leads to uneven spray patterns, reduced efficiency, and ultimately, compromised results. […]
A benchtop ultrasonic cleaner proved superior to an automated microplate washer with integrated manifold tube cleaning. Rachel Kohn, Ph.D., Tovatech LLC, Plano, TX Biopharma labs routinely use microplates for cell-based assays, microsphere-based assays, and ELISA applications. Microplate washers are used to clean the plates. Manifold tube clogs are the most common source of failure on […]
Maintaining the safety and operational efficiency of aircraft engines is paramount in the aviation industry. For Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs), Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) organizations, and airline maintenance facilities, adhering to rigorous procedures outlined in aircraft engine maintenance manuals is non-negotiable. Ultrasonic technology has emerged as a critical tool in this sector, providing […]

Examples include An Intro to Multifunctional Ultrasonic Cleaner Accessories Ultrasonic Cleaner Accessories in the Shop A cleaning basket is a cleaning basket, right? And as a professional, you know that it is not good practice to overload […]
Instead of “Knowledge is Good,” the Faber College motto in “Animal House,” we propose “Clean is Good.” This is not a joke, when it comes to “clean” in keeping costly equipment up to peak performance. Here’s how ultrasonic parts cleaners promote peak performance across a broad range of products. An Ultrasonic Parts Cleaner? Why Is […]
Cross-contamination is a constant concern in all laboratory practices and can be addressed by strict operating procedures to assure equipment is thoroughly clean before use. Thorough fine mesh lab sieve cleaning used in analytical, science and testing laboratories can be crucial in meeting GLP standards. Lab sieves, because of their design, present special cleaning challenges […]

This trajectory suggests a promising compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.61% from 2024 to 2031. As to why industrial ultrasonic cleaner markets are growing, the report […]
In many cases ultrasonic energy is the “go to” solution when it comes to meeting challenges associated with cleaning large parts. Cleaning large parts calls for a large ultrasonic cleaner – one that accommodates parts size and has added features facilitating the entire cleaning cycle. This means more than considering a unit with the capacity to […]
