Hydroshear Plus: an innovative solution for precise DNA shearing
Digilab's Hydroshear Plus is a state-of-the-art instrument for controlled DNA shearing, essential for many applications in modern genomics. This system is based on hydrodynamic point-sink technology that fragments DNA using hydrodynamic shear forces, ensuring remarkable precision and reproducibility. The device design includes a high-quality glass syringe and an automated pump that precisely regulates the sample flow through a calibrated opening, causing DNA molecules to fragment into specific sizes.
By integrating intuitive and powerful software , the Hydroshear Plus offers total control over shear parameters such as volume, number of cycles and speed code. These settings allow the size of DNA fragments to be adjusted according to experimental requirements, ranging from large fragments for applications such as cloning to smaller fragments for next-generation sequencing. The system is also designed to minimise the risk of cross-contamination through automated wash cycles and an easy-to-maintain shear assembly.
With its high-precision ruby port and seven-port valve system, the Hydroshear Plus ensures efficient and reproducible fragmentation while minimising mechanical stress on samples. The device is compatible with a wide range of DNA volumes and concentrations, making it ideal for projects ranging from basic research to industrial applications in biotechnology and pharmacology.
Its ergonomic design allows for easy integration into any laboratory and meets international environmental and electrical standards. With a USB interface and Windows-compatible software, it can be easily adapted to existing IT infrastructures.
