Ultrasonic devices for the laboratory - precision, cleanliness and reproducibility with BANDELIN

Efficient ultrasonic technology for laboratories and research

In modern laboratories, every second counts. Processes must be fast, reliable and reproducible. Ultrasonic devices from BANDELIN fulfil precisely these requirements: They clean thoroughly, gently and even reach nooks and crannies that are inaccessible by hand. Whether for sample preparation, degassing HPLC solutions or cleaning sensitive glassware - the SONOREX series stands for precision in everyday laboratory work.

Our laboratory ultrasonic baths are characterised by their compact design, simple operation and precise adjustment to analytical processes. They offer maximum efficiency and reliability for daily use in the laboratory and are an indispensable tool for research institutes, pharmaceutical laboratories, universities and anyone who relies on reproducible ultrasonic cleaning.

Two central applications - cleaning and sample preparation

There are two main areas of application for ultrasonic technology in the laboratory. The first is the classic cleaning of laboratory glassware, pipettes, metal parts and test sieves. Here, the cavitation principle ensures the gentle removal of residues without damaging the surfaces. The second is sample preparation for analysis, in which samples are indirectly sonicated and homogenised to ensure uniform particle distribution.
BANDELIN covers both areas of application - with compact SONOREX ultrasonic baths for cleaning and degassing.

Special solutions such as Baktosonic (biofilm removal on implants), Sonocool (ultrasonic bath with integrated cooling) or the pipette cleaner complete the portfolio and make BANDELIN a full-range supplier in the laboratory segment.

Cavitation principle and sound field - physical processes for reproducible results

The functional principle of ultrasonic cleaning is based on the formation and implosion of millions of tiny cavitation bubbles in the ultrasonic field. This physical effect generates microscopic shock waves that detach even the finest particles from the surface. This technology is particularly valuable in laboratories, as it cleans sensitive glassware, pipettes or metal components without leaving any residue and saves time at the same time.
The energy input remains constant thanks to precise control of amplitude, power and pulse duration. The result is uniform samples, clean surfaces and reliable analysis data.

Advantages of BANDELIN ultrasonic technology:

Uniform cleaning results thanks to homogeneous sound distribution

Thorough removal of even the finest residues in complex geometries

No surface damage to glass or stainless steel

Short cleaning times and reproducible results

Optimum preparation for analytical procedures and quality controls

SONOREX series in the lab - RK, DT and Smart at a glance

BANDELIN offers three series of laboratory ultrasonic devices, which differ in terms of control and range of functions, but all have one thing in common: the highest quality and reliability.

SONOREX RK: The classic laboratory appliance - robust, compact and with simple time setting. Available with or without heating, ideal for routine tasks.

SONOREX DT: With degassing function in on-off mode for fast degassing, particularly suitable for HPLC solutions and viscous liquids.

SONOREX Smart: High-end model with intuitive touchscreen and process documentation. In addition to time and heating, smart offers PULS for stubborn impurities, ECO mode for energy saving, variable power setting (10-100 %), DEGAS, multilingualism.

Each ultrasonic device is designed for continuous operation, with durable stainless steel tanks and vibration-resistant electronics. The systems are maintenance-free, easy to clean and guarantee precise, reproducible results for many years.

Ultrasonic cleaning in the laboratory - faster, more thorough, more economical

Compared to manual cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning offers significantly higher process reliability. It reaches even the finest capillaries and porous surfaces where brushes or rinsing bottles fail. At the same time, it prevents damage as no mechanical pressure is exerted on the material.
Ultrasonic cleaning not only saves time, but also detergent and water. The process is efficient, environmentally friendly and delivers consistently clean results - regardless of the user or batch size.

Advantages at a glance:

Up to 80 % time saving compared to manual cleaning
Consistently high cleaning quality
No scratches or abrasion on sensitive surfaces
Compatible with TICKOPUR cleaning products, specially designed for ultrasonic cleaning of glass, metal or plastic
Automated process control with simple operability

Applications in laboratory practice - HPLC, analytics and research

Ultrasonic devices from BANDELIN are an integral part of everyday laboratory work. They are used for

Degassing of HPLC solutions - for stable measured values and precise analysis

Cleaning of test sieves with fine mesh sizes

Sample preparation in food analysis (e.g. beer, wine, cheese, meat samples)

Homogenisation of biological materials for DNA, RNA or protein analyses

Cleaning pipettes, reaction vessels, glassware and metal parts

Thanks to the even distribution of energy in the ultrasonic field, all sample types can be treated efficiently without thermal or mechanical stress. This creates clean, reproducible laboratory conditions - the basis of every reliable analysis.

Technical precision and vertical integration - ultrasonic devices made in Germany

All SONOREX ultrasonic devices are developed and manufactured in Berlin. The high level of vertical integration enables uncompromising quality control at every stage - from the stainless steel tank to the electronics and final testing.
This Made in Germany philosophy ensures users long-term availability of spare parts, short delivery times and high cost-effectiveness. BANDELIN produces with decades of experience and technical expertise that is tailored to the needs of modern research.

Technical highlights of the laboratory ultrasonic devices:

Quality, safety and validation in laboratory operations

BANDELIN stands for tested quality and standardised production. All ultrasonic baths are CE-compliant and are manufactured under a certified quality management system - documented in accordance with ISO 9001 and - where relevant - ISO 13485. For pharmaceutical or regulated environments, BANDELIN offers optional IQ/OQ certifications that document the installation and functional testing.
Safety features such as automatic switch-off of the heater in the event of dry running in the event of overheating, corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing and ergonomic control elements make the appliances practical and durable. This reduces operating costs, increases reliability and ensures safe use in everyday laboratory work.

Application advice, accessories and cleaning products - all from a single source

BANDELIN sees itself not only as a device manufacturer, but also as an application partner. An extensive range of accessories is available for all ultrasonic devices - including baskets, holders and lids. The company also offers its own cleaning products, TICKOPUR, which are precisely tailored to ultrasonic cleaning and, thanks to decades of experience and application advice, customers receive customised solutions. Application guides document optimum parameters for HPLC degassing, test sieve cleaning or cell disruption. The result is laboratory processes that are efficient, safe and validatable - with consistently high quality.

Market leader in the laboratory sector - experience, trust and innovation

BANDELIN has been developing ultrasonic technology for research, analysis and medicine for over 70 years. As a third-generation family business, the brand stands for continuity, precision and customer-centred service.
The vision: to further integrate ultrasonic solutions into digital laboratory environments, automate processes and establish sustainable cleaning technologies. BANDELIN devices are already standard equipment at universities, pharmaceutical companies and test laboratories worldwide - for users who demand the highest standards of quality, reproducibility and safety.
