Product description

Ultrasonicator using Adaptive Focused Acoustics® for precise DNA/RNA shearing and isothermal, non-contact processing.

The Covaris A is a state-of-the-art Focused-ultrasonicator designed to deliver precise and reproducible sample preparation for various applications in the life sciences. Utilising Covaris' proprietary Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) technology, this instrument ensures efficient and non-contact processing, making it an invaluable tool for researchers aiming for high-quality results.

Key features and benefits:

Precise DNA and RNA shearing: Achieves controlled fragmentation essential for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation.
Isothermal processing: Maintains sample integrity by preventing heat-induced damage during processing.
Non-contact, closed vessel system: Eliminates cross-contamination risks and reduces the need for extensive clean-up procedures.
Versatile sample volume compatibility: Accommodates a range of sample volumes, enhancing flexibility across different experimental setups.
High reproducibility: Delivers consistent results, crucial for applications requiring stringent quality control.

Applications:

Genomics: DNA and RNA shearing for NGS library preparation.
Proteomics: Protein extraction and digestion for mass spectrometry analysis.
Cell biology: Cell lysis and tissue homogenisation for downstream analyses.
Biotechnology: Sample preparation for molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing processes.

Commonly used in:

Academic research laboratories
Biotechnology companies
Pharmaceutical industries
Clinical diagnostics laboratories

First introduced in 2010, the Covaris A has established itself as a reliable and essential instrument in laboratories worldwide, continuing to support advancements in molecular biology and biotechnology research.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
