Claim:
1. A sonication device comprising: at least one removably attached flow-through fluidic connector constructed to provide a continuous pass-through of fluid, wherein said continuous pass-through originates at a sample reservoir and terminates at a receiving reservoir; a sonication plate mechanically coupled directly to a source of vibrational energy, the sonication plate containing an opening having inner walls, said inner walls including an inner mating surface articulated with one or more coupling surfaces, said opening receiving and holding the fluidic connector, the fluidic connector including one or more outer mating surfaces complementary to the one or more coupling surfaces on the inner mating surface, the sonication plate and the fluidic connector constructed such that when the fluidic connector is mated to said opening, maximal vibrational energy transfer occurs from the sonication plate into the fluidic connector.
