Focused acoustics has a proven track record in several biological based applications including DNA shearing, tissue homogenization, compound management, and cell lysis and disruption. The ability to apply controlled, mechanical energy at the molecular boundary layer, has begun to influence its capability in the formulation of poorly soluble compounds to aid in the development and manufacture of pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and nutraceuticals.

  Several characteristics have brought attention to the technology including: Fast and convenient operation, isothermal properties eliminating molecular damage due to overheating, high reproducibility, and the ability to scale from sample volumes of <1ml through Pilot Scale.
