Megarupter 2  

Reproducibly fragment HMW DNA to a target size of 3kb-75 kb. Shearing performance is independent of the source, concentration, temperature, or salt content of a DNA sample.  

No reservation required.  

Covaris M220 sonicator  

Covaris transmits acoustic energy at ultrasonic frequencies and very short wavelengths to shear DNA to fragment sizes between 150bp and 5kb. The process is isothermal, non contact, and quiet, and the instrument is very easy to operate. Accomodates sample volumes of 15 µL, 50 µL, or 130 µL in specialized tubes that we stock in house, and can process up to 5 µg of DNA per tube.

The Covaris can be reserved in iLab.
