Purchase of Bioruptor Pico sonication device

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a contract for the purchase of a Bioruptor Pico sonication device. This device is necessary for the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Genetics to conduct high-throughput genomic and epigenomic studies. The Bioruptor Pico sonication device is an all-in-one shearing system that offers consistent performance, scalability, and compatibility with low sample volumes. The device can process micro-volumes ranging from 5 μl to 2 ml and can simultaneously sonicate 6 to 12 samples. • The device is optimized for processing micro-volumes ranging from 5 μl to 2 ml. • The device can accommodate a wide array of sample types, including deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, and chromatin. • The device's ability to simultaneously sonicate 6 to 12 samples ensures high-throughput capabilities. • The device's advanced timing control and integrated cooling system provide precise temperature regulation, preserving sample integrity and ensuring reproducible fragmentation profiles.
