The dismembrator setup is shown on the left in Figure 19. The power source is connected to the probe. The probe fits into the case through a hole in the top. Put the probe into the top clamp and the sample tube into the bottom clamp. Adjust the positions so the probe goes into the tube. The probe should be about half-way into the sample material without touching the sides of the tube. The probe releases a lot of energy, and if it is touches the sides it will heat up the tube and the sample.

The probe power source is shown on the left in Figure 20. Flip the "ON" Switch (Figure 20A). The settings are already set to our needs. To run as is, press the "Start" button (Figure 20B). If you need to change a setting, see the "Set" button (Figure 20D20C) and the "Mode" button (Figure 20C20D). From these two panels, you have access to the power, time, and displayed units. For more information, reference the Manufacturer Manual located in the side pocket of the dismembrator case.
- Add ~25 mL of a 1 % borax solution into the centrifuge tube. Borax prevents the sample from flocculating. Too much Borax however will increase flocculation.
- Put the tube into the bottom clamp inside the dismembrator case. When satisfied with the positioning, press the "Start" button on the probe power supply (Figure 17B20B). If the material does not appear to be circulating throughout the whole tube or the tube is heating up, adjust the probe position and start the dismembration over.
