The Q800R3 Sonicator is a chromatin / DNA shearing system which provides scientists with a reliable, easy-to-use means of achieving narrow DNA fragment bands at a cost which is thousands of dollars less than competing systems. The second generation Q800R3 improves upon the design with enhanced usability and quieter operation than its predecessor. Get the DNA shearing you need with the confidence and quality expected from the Sonicator brand.

Samples can be sheared to a range of fragment sizes (150bp – 3kb). The system is compatible with commercially available sample tubes and is capable of processing up to 18 samples at one time. Multiple tube rack options can accommodate 50ul - 1ml sample volumes using a variety of standard sample tubes.

The Q800R3 is a complete package including a chiller to control temperature, digital operating system with programmable memory, high intensity ultrasonics and sound reducing enclosure.
