Ultrasonic baths - overview
Grant provides two ranges of robust, reliable, high performance ultrasonic baths for scientific and industrial applications: the
XB series for straightforward applications and the
microprocessor controlled MXB series for more sophisticated applications requiring time and temperature control. Ideal for laboratory cleaning, degassing, sonochemistry and sample dissolution in scientific, medical, optical, dental and industrial laboratories.

- Clean, high quality, robust design for long-term reliability and durability
- High performance cleaning by powerful industrial piezoelectric transducers mounted to ensure even transmission of ultrasonic power throughout the bath
- Choice of two standard models (XB series) and three microprocessor controlled models (MXB series) with time/temperature control
Ultrasonic – ultra-efficient Piezoelectric transducers emit continuous alternating pressure through the liquid in the bath. The waves of high and low pressure cause bubbles to form, to increase in size and then to collapse violently. This process, called cavitation, acts on any object placed in the bath. The gentle scrubbing action provides consistently quick and thorough cleaning. Cavitation works wherever an object is in contact with the liquid, cleaning even the most intricate and fragile objects inside and out.
Ultrasonic cleaning gives a high standard of cleanliness in a fraction of the time required by conventional cleaning methods. It is also safer than manual cleaning if there is any danger of contamination or infection. Ultrasonic action is also used to de-gas liquids before use in chromatography, to prevent cavitation in high pressure pumps, and to modify reactions in sonochemistry, such as inducing rapid crystallisation of materials.
