1. By Tyler RayProduct Research Scientist Sonix IV Corp.
2. Defined as process of using high frequencyultasound to
clean/disinfect Creates powerful micro-jet implosions Resulting
from pressure differential on eitherside of a surface in solution
Overcome adhesion/cohesion forces Destroy microorganism
membranes
6. Enzyme solutions = soak-rinse ONLY Sonication denatures
enzyme deeming itincapable of functioning. Surfactant solutions =
soap = faster clean cycle Sonix IV solutions are Eco-Friendly
andspecially formulated with optimal cavitaionalproperties No
significant difference in usingenzyme, soap, or tap water solutions
Sonication is doing the cleaning
7. Use eco-friendlysolutions sparingly Save Green whilegoing
green!
