Abstract
Assembly kit, comprising a sonication device (10) and a support (20) for sample tubes (30). The device comprises a tank (13) and an ultrasound wave generator (15) coupled to the tank and designed to generate ultrasound waves having a frequency of between 20 kHz and 80 kHz. The tank comprises an indicator (132) of a level (133) of liquid. The support for sample tubes comprises a means (21) for the support of several sample tubes of a size of 0.2 ml, a rod (22) secured to the support means, and a means (23) for suspending the rod in the tank. The rod has a length such that, in the assembly position, the sample tubes (30) are positioned with their lower end between 8 mm and 12 mm below the indicator (132) of the level of liquid.
