Talk:Sonication

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just want tp point out that the process is accoplished by the use of energy, which in turn is produced by the sound waves.

Not only biological materials can be dispersed in solution by sonication. I myself disperse silica nanoparticles in water using the technique. --72.195.134.10 02:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Joe

Merge discussion found here: Talk:Ultrasonic cleaning --Rifleman 82 15:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't think merging the articles is a good idea. Sonication is also a process which uses sound waves to lyse cells and other biological components. Merging the articles may cause inconvenience to others who are looking for sonication in the application of biology.

Sonication is also used to disperse materials in liquids. If the merge is done, there should at least be a redirect from "sonication" to the merged article.

[edit] sure

i think wher ultra sonic cleaning is part of sonication it should be moved to this page Amich45 17:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ultra-Sonic Cleaning is an application of Sonication

Ultra-sonic cleaning is an application of sonication, so from a logical perspective it would make sense for it to have a section on the sonication page. Linking it to that section might be the best solution, because then it can be easily found by people who aren't versed in the sciences but then those same people can learn about the broader subject. 128.220.119.64 14:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Craig B
