AFA Ultrasonicator, Mid-throughput Focused-ultrasonicator, Automation-ready, ml230

The Covaris ML230 Focused-ultrasonicator is an automation-ready, mid-throughput instrument engineered for high-performance sample preparation. Leveraging Adaptive Focused Acoustics (AFA) technology, it delivers precise, isothermal energy to process samples consistently and reproducibly. The ML230 is designed for seamless integration into automated workflows, making it ideal for laboratories scaling their DNA/RNA shearing, FFPE extraction, and other essential molecular biology applications.

Features

• Automation-ready design: Easily integrates with standard liquid handling robots
• Isothermal AFA process: Ensures high sample recovery without heat-induced bias
• Mid-throughput capacity: Processes samples in 96-well plate formats
• Non-contact, closed vessel: Prevents cross-contamination and aerosol formation
• Highly reproducible results: Delivers tight fragment distributions with minimal QC
• Sample tracking ready: Compatible with 2D barcoded consumables for full traceability
• Quiet operation: Functions outside the audible range to maintain a better lab environment

Benefits

• Increased walk-away time and workflow efficiency through automation
• Preserves the integrity of nucleic acids and proteins for sensitive downstream analysis
• Standardized, transferable protocols ensure inter- and intra-lab consistency
• Reduces manual handling errors and improves overall data quality
