AFA Ultrasonicator, High-throughput Focused-ultrasonicator, Automation-ready, R230

The Covaris R230 is a high-throughput, automation-ready Focused-ultrasonicator built for the demands of production-scale laboratories. Using proprietary Adaptive Focused Acoustics (AFA) technology, the R230 delivers controlled, isothermal acoustic energy for unparalleled sample preparation consistency across 96- or 384-well plates. Its robust design integrates seamlessly into fully automated workflows, providing reliable, hands-free operation for applications like DNA/RNA shearing, FFPE extraction, and high-throughput screening.

Features

• High-throughput capability: Optimized for processing samples in 96- and 384-well plates.
• Automation-centric design: Engineered for full integration with robotic liquid handling platforms.
• Isothermal AFA processing: Ensures gentle, non-contact sample treatment without thermal damage, maximizing sample integrity and recovery.
• Unmatched reproducibility: Delivers highly consistent results across all wells, plates, and runs.
• Closed-vessel system: Eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and aerosolization.
• Advanced sample tracking: Fully compatible with 2D barcoded plates for error-free sample management.
• Quiet, efficient operation: Performs complex processing tasks without disrupting the lab environment.

Benefits

• Dramatically increases sample throughput and walk-away time in automated environments.
• Achieves superior data quality by minimizing processing variability and eliminating heat-induced bias.
• Enables standardized, scalable protocols for large-scale genomics, proteomics, and drug discovery projects.
• Reduces manual processing steps, minimizing errors and ensuring the highest level of process control.
