Diagenode

Shearing with the Megaruptor system leads to optimal long-read sequencing using PacBio systems prior to library preparation with the SMRTbell prep kits. The Megaruptor 3 system, recommended by PacBio for HiFi, microbial multiplexing and structural variants provides optimal DNA fragmentation from 5kb-100kb. The Megaruptor 3 comes with a default cassette that processes up to 8 samples at once, and Diagenode now offers a 12-sample cassette for 50% higher throughput that easily fits into your existing Megaruptor 3. The user-friendly system allows samples to be processed simultaneously without additional user input.
