Diagenode’s Bioruptor® NGS uses a gentle method of sonication to retain the integrity of DNA. The Bioruptor® Sonication System uses a water bath to generate indirect sonication waves, which emanate from an ultrasound element below the water tank. Because the system is gentler than other sonicators, the Bioruptor® produces better and more consistent results than with harsher sonication methods. Up to 12 closed tubes can be sonicated in parallel and the continuous rotation of tubes allows even distribution of the energy for efficient sonication. The Bioruptor® enables automation of sonication, guaranteeing higher reproducibility of results.
