Product Description
The EpiSonic™ 2000 Sonication System is the latest sonication-based instrument with integrated cooling for DNA shearing and chromatin shearing applications. This sonicator is designed for simultaneous, optimized processing of 1 to 12 samples at small microliter-level volumes (optimal at 15 µl of volume), making it an ideal solution for next-generation sequencing due to its high shearing consistency and uniformity.
Features At-A-Glance
The EpiSonic™ 2000 incorporates Digitally Adaptive Sonocavitation™ (DAS) technology to efficiently process DNA and chromatin samples, with the following key features:
- Simple input and controls
- Simultaneous sonication of up to 12 samples
- 10 minutes to shear 12 samples to 300 bp (50 sec/sample)
- Reproducible and consistent fragments
- Closed vessel processing
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Continuous cooling system
- 20-month warranty
Key Points
Notable points of the EpiSonic™ 2000 include the following:
- Generates fragments compatible with Illumina, Ion Torrent, 454, and Pacific Biosciences platforms.
- Generates tight and highly reproducible fragment distributions.
- Capable of achieving uniform fragment sizes between 150 bps and 20 kbs.
- Meets "the scientist's requirements" for a low-cost, flexible, higher throughput and easy-to-use design.
- Eliminates operator-induced variations, improves recovery yield, increases efficiency, and provides results that can be standardized.
