Revolutionize a Liquid Handler with an On-Deck AFA-Revolution
The AFA-Revolution is a new class of Covaris Focused-ultrasonicator that can now be fully integrated on-deck in a liquid handler. The unique high-throughput sample processing capabilities of AFA-energetics® with AFA-TUBE™ plates, revolutionizes sample prep using precise tuneable energy in two modes: a conventional AFA indexing mode and a new proprietary AFA scanning mode. Scanning mode enables rapid sample batch treatment in Covaris-qualified a 96 well plate format (384 and 1536 plate formats in development). Powered by the Gold Standard Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) technology, the R230 was designed to integrate onto many liquid handling platforms including Dynamic Devices, Hamilton, Tecan, PerkinElmer, Beckman Coulter, and Agilent.
Significant time, money, and resources are invested into developing innovative automation workflows to increase throughput and improve analysis. Use the Covaris R230 AFA-Revolution to create new “best practices” performance standards for liquid handlers.
