SonicMan is a high throughput multi-probe sonication instrument developed by MatriCal, configurable with 96, 384, and 1536-well formats. SonicMan uses disposable pin lids to transfer sonic energy to each individual well and to prevent well-to-well cross contamination.- AUTOMATION FRIENDLY - plates or tube racks are placed on a retractable shuttle making it fully automation friendly.
- HIGH THROUGHPUT - the SonicMan can shear 384 DNA samples to 250 bp in hours
- EXCELLENT DISTRIBUTION - the random fragments generated are suitable for the sequencing of large genomes
- LOW CONSUMABLE COSTS - bringing the cost per sample down for your laboratory, with no specialised reagents required
- EASY TO USE - the software is fully

The SQUIRT microplate washer is designed for reliability either as a bench top device or in an integrated robotic system.
SQUIRT microplate washers can wash any 96, 384 and 1536 well SBS formatted plate without manifold exchange or adjustment at speeds up to three wash/dry cycles per 15 seconds.
The SQUIRT microplate washer's unique slit manifold design sweeps a blade of liquid across the whole surface of the plate. A second manifold completes the operation by drying with an air blade. This minimizes clogging of the manifold and eliminates the 'corona effect' where cells are selectively removed from the centre of the wells during washing with traditional probe based instruments.More information
