How to use a sonicator?

To use a sonicator, first ensure the sample is placed in a suitable container, typically a test tube or vial, and fill it with the appropriate solvent if needed. Set the desired parameters on the sonicator, such as amplitude and duration, based on your specific application. Immerse the probe of the sonicator into the sample without touching the bottom or sides, and then activate the device while monitoring the sample for any temperature changes. After sonication, allow the sample to cool if necessary before proceeding with further analysis or processing.
