- Dissolving samples is an essential step in the sample preparation process. However, some samples do not dissolve easily, in which case extra treatment in the form of ultrasound (sonication) is often useful. Zinsser Analytic offers software-controlled sonication on its instruments for liquids handling, screening and combinatorial chemistry. The sonication probe is picked up by a robotic arm and...... more
