Covaris

Product Name:

S220 Focused-ultrasonicator

Catalog Number:

500217

Excellent sonicator for chromatin fragmentation before ChIP experiments. The temperature controlled water bath and the focused sonication system are perfect to maintain the samples at constant temperature and deliver a smaller amount of energy to achieve correct fragmentation compared with other sonicators. Some optimisation is required for each cell type/protocol and the dedicated glass vessels are bit expensive, but it is worth the price. Very solid machine as well: we got a refurbished one to contain the costs, but we never had any problem after many years of routine use.

Application :

Sonication
