THE INSTRUMENT
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Miris Ultrasonic Processor requires a fused, single phase 3-terminal grounding type elec-
trical outlet capable of supplying 50/60 Hz at 100 Volts, 115 Volts, 220 Volts, or 240 Volts,
depending on the voltage option selected. For power requirements, check the label on the back
of the unit.
Probe processing capacity
For efcient homogenisation, it is important to not exceed the processing capacity of the probe.
The 3 mm diameter probe is for milk volumes 3-10 ml.

Chapter 3 OPERATING THE MIRIS ULTRASONIC PROCESSOR
This chapter describes how to use the Miris Ultrasonic Processor.
See Chapter 1 for start-up procedure and Chapter 2 for settings.
For information on use and handling of human milk and the Miris HMA™,
refer to instructions in the Miris HMA™ User Manual.
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
Equipment Consumables
Miris Ultrasonic Processor Miris Cleaner™
Emery cloth
Sample container
Table 1. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for processing milk using Miris Ultrasonic Processor.
Set-up Prepare working solution of Miris Cleaner™
Turn on the Miris Ultrasonic Processor by pressing [I]
Instrument preparation
See Chapter 2 and Chapter 4
Check that amplitude is set to 75% and pulsating
mode is turned off
Set the processing time (1.5 s/ml) according to
sample volume
Make sure that the Miris Ultrasonic Processor probe is clean and that the tip is evenly polished
Sample processing (For instructions on human milk preparation and handling, see the Miris HMA™ User Manual)
Use a sample container which will give a sample depth of at least 2 cm, see Figure 4, allowing some extra
space for sample movement
If using conical tubes, a tube holder i necessary to keep the tube upright and stable. If using a at bottom or
skirted tube, a tube holder or tube rack may not be necessary.
Place the container with the sample in the Miris Ultrasonic Processor Sound reducing cabinet
Adjust the probe height using the Height adjustment knob
Immerse the probe into the sample
Note! If the probe is lowered to an insufcient depth the sample will foam and/or splash, which should be
avoided
Centre the probe in the container
Close the door of the Sound reducing cabinet
Press Start [Start/Stop]
The processing can be stopped at any time by pressing [Start/Stop] again
After the processing is nished, remove the sample
(The sample is now ready for analysis with Miris HMA™ Calibration 1 – Homogenized milk)
