Etymology: < sonic adj. + -ation suffix. Compare sonicator n. and slightly later sonicate v.

1. Chiefly Biochemistry and Chemistry.

1952 Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 8 238 If the sonication is continued for over an hour, almost all the particles are broken.

1970 Sci. Jrnl. Apr. 42 Cleaning these parts is a major branch of ultraclean technology involving the application of special solvents, the use of ‘sonication’—ultrasonic vibration—to jar the dirt loose,..and many other highly specialized procedures.

1988 Virus Res. 9 295 After each sonication the probe of the sonicator was scrubbed with alcoholic iodine.

2012 Plant Cell 24 4201/1 Cell disruption was further complemented by sonication of the cells.

2. Botany. The production of vibration in the anthers of a flower by the buzzing of certain types of bee; the release of pollen effected by this means.

1985 Amer. Jrnl. Bot. 72 140/1 Floral sonication is the only effective means by which bees can harvest pollen from poricidally dehiscent anthers.

1997 High Country News 20 Jan. 15/3 Some flowers..have tiny holes in them that release pollen only when a bee buzzes so hard it becomes a living tuning fork, says Buchmann, who discovered the phenomenon, called sonication.

2010 Evolution 64 3586/2 Flowers of Senna are nectarless, and pollen is concealed and released only through sonication by buzz-pollinating bees.
