Diagnode BC 100 Bioruptor Pico Sonication System

Diagenode’s Bioruptor Pico uses a gentle method of sonication to retain the integrity of DNA and/or biological complexes, including chromatin, protein-protein binding, proteinDNA complexes and other biochemical and biological assay systems. The Bioruptor Pico sonication system uses a sonication 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 Pico produces better and more consistent results than with harsher sonication methods. Up to 16 closed tubes can be sonicated in parallel and the continuous rotation of tubes allows even distribution of the energy for efficient sonication. The Bioruptor Pico enables automation of sonication, guaranteeing higher reproducibility of results.
