The most often asked question is one of time: How long does it take to properly disrupt my cells? And the answer is: It all depends on the cells being disrupted!

Some cells like e. coli disrupt almost instantly. Other cells like sperm cells or heart muscle cells make take up to ten or more minutes.

Another question that comes up has to do with frequency: Why only two possibilities? This question is almost always asked from the perspective of intensity. The frequency can not be adjusted but the intensity can. In fact the intensity can be adjusted down to virtually zero intensity. So one has the latitude to conduct their disruption procedure under conditions of higher intensity (and at the fastest speeds) all the way down to almost no intensity (and under conditions that would approach an infinitely long time period to accomplish). A simple knob on each of the units makes such adjustment easily accomplished.
