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 extensive

ly 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.

Today is

From sustainable agriculture to next-generation sequencing, biotechnology is behind some of the most important advances of our time — and the pace of innovation shows no signs of slowing.

At Covaris, we're proud to play a role in that progress, providing researchers with the sample preparation tools they need to do their best work.

What if the biggest bottleneck in whole genome sequencing wasn't the sequencing itself — it was getting the sample?

A clinic visit. A trained phlebotomist. Cold-chain logistics. These steps slow research before it even begins. Our latest blog explores how fingerstick-based blood collection is changing that — simplifying decentralized sampling while maintaining the DNA quality WGS demands.

Going to ESHG 2026? We're presenting two posters this year — on pharmacogenetic profiling from decentralized whole blood collection, and gene fusion detection from degraded FFPE samples. Both cover the kind of sample challenges that don't always have easy answers. Come find us at Booth #458, or register for our lunch seminar on 14 June to see the full workflow picture.

We're heading to ESHG 2026 — and if sample preparation is on your mind, we should talk.

Join our lunch seminar on 14 June (12:15, Room A-6) for a practical look at how AFA®-enabled workflows deliver reproducible, automation-ready results across WGS, WTS, and proteomics — including a real-world implementation with Hamilton and featuring presentations from Tom Hofste, PhD, from Radboud University and Deborah Moine from PacBio.

FFPE is the most abundant clinical sample type in cancer research — yet extracting reliable multiomic data from archived tissue remains a real challenge.

Our industry symposium at EACR 2026 addresses this directly, with experts demonstrating how AFA®-enabled workflows maximize analyte recovery and deliver confident results for DNA, RNA, and protein.

Wednesday 10 June | 13:30–14:15 | Room F9-10

The bottleneck in large-scale genomics isn't sequencing, it's getting the sample in the first place.

Traditional phlebotomy requires clinical visits, cold-chain logistics, and a shrinking healthcare workforce. Saliva and swabs seem like the easy fix, but microbial contamination wastes up to 30% of sequencing output.

There's a better way. Our latest thought leadership paper breaks down why whole blood remains the gold standard and how decentralized collection is finally catching up.
