Covaris, a PerkinElmer company. Sample prep solutions powered by AFA® technology for precise, reproducible, high-quality data.

Covaris is the recognized industry leader for DNA fragmentation. Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) is the gold standard for shearing DNA and RNA in Next-Generation Sequencing applications, without GC bias or thermal-induced damage. Users precisely and accurately fragment DNA and RNA to the 100-1500bp range with the microTUBE, and 2-5kb range with the miniTUBE. The Covaris AFA process is extensively cited in peer-reviewed research articles on DNA fragmentation using all available NGS systems. Covaris Focused-ultrasonicators are recommended by all major sequencing platform providers, and are used by leading Genome Centers worldwide including: the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, the Broad Institute, and BGI.
