C2RT technology seminar on Covaris technology on February 6

Covaris AFA technology delivers highly tuneable energy via Focused-ultrasonicator instruments. By controlling the dosage of acoustic energy delivered, AFA provides the flexibility to homogenize cells and efficiently extract and process biomolecules like proteins, RNA, DNA, Chromatin, Metabolites, or other targets in buffers optimized for downstream analytical methods like NGS, ChIP, and LC-MS.

Join us, on Thursday February 6, 2020 at 10am, in the François Jacob Auditorium, to learn about:

• Best shearing practices to improve DNA integrity and your RNA DV200 scores

• Standardized chromatin preparation workflows from virtually any sample input

• Extracting and processing (resuspension, digestion, etc.) proteins from single mammalian cells to high densities of bacteria using adaptive acoustic energy

This seminar will be followed by an instrument presentation in Marc Monot’s lab (Biomics) during which we can troubleshoot shearing results and discuss solutions for proteomics workflows.
