sonication
Sound wave agitation
Sonication is the application of sound energy, typically ultrasonic waves, to agitate particles in a sample.
In laboratory settings, sonication breaks apart cells, disperses nanoparticles, or mixes solutions that resist conventional stirring: The cells were lysed by sonication.
A sonicator or ultrasonic bath produces the high-frequency vibrations.
