The idea is to build an ultrasound device appositely conceived for home made liposomal encapsulation.
Usually that is achieved with an ultrasonic cleaner filled up with water and lecithin, some recommend to place a glass container in the ultrasonic bath and to fill that with water and lecithin.
The tech guys in the laboratory use a transducer prob in immersion.
The ultrasonic cleaner method usually is not very efficient achieving about a 70% encapsulation at best, which is probably good enough but not optimal and the stainless steel tank will leach metal particles in the compound I would prefer to avoid.
Placing a glass container in the tank eliminates the contamination issue but decreases the sonification power lowering the encapsulation percentage even further.
The immersion transducer prob gives the best amount of power/encapsulation but probably the worst metal contamination, plus the probe bell is kind of tricky to build or expensive to buy.
Thinking about a glass container such a beaker of about 500ml capacity and epoxy glue a 28KHZ/50W transducer to the bottom of it, this should make a quite powerful sonificator, well superior to an ultrasonic jewelery cleaner, leaching little or almost no contaminants (hopefully).
The question is: would the glass perform as intended, will it break or not resonate how it should?
Yes,I know, I can just try and see by myself...
The point is if it is not going to work the transducer may get damaged and it may not be fun if I have to un-glue it...therefore if somebody has technical expertise in this field and is willing to save me money and time I will really much appreciate.
Thanks!
