Support for sample tubes for the sonication of a biological material

An assembly kit, comprising a sonication device and a support for sample tubes;

• wherein the sonication device comprises a tank having a cover and at least one ultrasound wave generator coupled to an outer face of the tank, the ultrasound wave generator being designed to generate ultrasound waves having a frequency of between 20 kHz and 80 kHz, and the tank comprising a level indicator of the level of a liquid in the tank;
• wherein the support for sample tubes comprises:
• a support plate in the shape of a disk, the support plate including several holes arranged around a circumference of a circle such that the support plate is configured to support several sample tubes of a size of 0.2 ml, the holes having dimensions corresponding to the sample tubes,
• a rod having a lower end and an upper end, the rod being secured to the support plate at the lower end, such that the rod is concentric with the circle around which the holes are arranged, and
• a suspension element supported by the cover and configured to suspend the rod in the tank;
• and
• wherein the rod has a length such that, in an assembly position, the sample tubes introduced into the support plate are positioned with their lower ends between 8 mm and 12 mm below the level indicator.
