- Two types of microtips for VCX-500 and VCX-750 are available to enable processing of samples in small vessels or tubes – a Tapered Microtip and a Stepped Microtip.
Tapered Microtips
Tapered Microtips attach to standard 1/2" probe (#630-0220)
The tapered microtip screws into the threaded end of the standard 1/2" (13 mm) probe in place of the replaceable tip. This combination is capable of generating very high amplitudes.
Stepped Microtips
Stepped Microtips attach to the coupler (#630-0421)
The stepped microtip assembly consists of two parts, the coupler and the microtip. The coupler screws into the converter in place of the standard probe and due to the reduced diameter, it is capable of reaching into narrow, long necked vessels. The stepped microtip assembly can deliver lower amplitudes and is advantageous when processing samples under 1mL.
