Advanced 16-Channel DNA Shearing Ultrasonic System for Labs

2025-07-29

If you’ve ever managed multiple DNA samples at once, you know how important it is to have reliable tools that make sample prep more efficient. Whether you’re handling high-throughput sequencing or working on tricky cell disruption protocols, the right system can save time and improve consistency. That’s exactly what our 16-channel DNA Shearing Ultrasonic System is designed to do – and it’s already making a difference in labs like yours.

Developed by us at Longlight Technology, the BoFU-1600 Focused Ultrasonicator offers powerful, flexible, and contamination-free sample processing. But what makes it truly stand out isn’t just the number of channels – it’s the smart features built for real lab workflows.

The DNA Shearing Ultrasonic System BoFU-1600 Focused Ultrasonicator is a high-performance solution designed for both clinical diagnostics and advanced molecular research. In hospitals and clinical laboratories – including departments of pathology and laboratory diagnostics – it supports workflows such as FFPE tissue deparaffinization, DNA extraction from tumor samples, and lysis of liquid biopsy specimens, enabling accurate downstream molecular testing. In universities and research institutes, it is widely adopted by research groups in molecular biology, genomics, and epigenetics, where graduate students and technicians frequently use it for precise DNA fragmentation prior to NGS library construction and chromatin shearing in ChIP-seq assays. The BoFU-1600 delivers consistent, reproducible results with programmable control, making it an essential tool for high-throughput, high-precision nucleic acid sample preparation across clinical and research settings.

What Makes BoFU-1600 Different?

The BoFU-1600 isn’t just another ultrasonic processor. It’s a purpose-built DNA Shearing Ultrasonic System created to handle complex biological samples while minimizing manual steps. With 16 independent sample positions and precise control over ultrasound conditions, this system offers both scale and customization in one compact device.

One of the most common issues in sample preparation is cross-contamination. Traditional probe-based methods often require frequent cleaning, and water bath sonicators may deliver uneven energy distribution. We designed BoFU-1600 to avoid these pitfalls. It delivers focused ultrasonic energy in a non-contact water bath, meaning your samples stay completely isolated – no direct contact, no contamination risk.

The system allows two modes of operation:

✅ Individual sample mode’tailor ultrasound settings for each tube independently

✅ Batch processing mode’input one set of parameters and apply them across multiple samples at once

This makes it ideal for workflows where both precision and speed matter. You can process a handful of samples – or all 16 – without compromising quality or consistency.

Built for Real Lab Conditions

Many labs today operate in tight spaces and under tight deadlines. We kept that in mind when designing the BoFU-1600. There’s no need for external soundproofing equipment – the system runs quietly even during intense processing. And because it has its own onboard operating system, you don’t need a separate computer. That’s less clutter on your bench and more room to work.

Temperature control is another key concern, especially for sensitive DNA or protein samples. Heat buildup from ultrasonic waves can impact sample integrity if not managed properly. Our system solves this with a real-time temperature monitoring and control system that ensures consistent, low-temperature processing across all wells. You don’t have to worry about heat-damaged DNA or distorted results.

Other features that add value to day-to-day lab use include:

✅ Automated waste drainage with a smart warning system to prevent overflow

✅ Traceable sample data, so you can access detailed processing history at any time

✅ Compact desktop design that fits seamlessly into existing lab environments

This isn’t just a system that looks good on paper. It’s built for daily use and long-term performance.

Applications Across Genomics and Proteomics

The BoFU-1600 DNA Shearing Ultrasonic System supports a wide range of research applications. Its high-precision ultrasonic technology and flexible sample handling make it suitable for both small-scale experiments and large sample batches. Whether you’re working with soft tissues or tough microbes, this system delivers clean, consistent results.

Common use cases include:

✅ Genomic DNA fragmentation for next-generation sequencing (NGS)

✅ Sample lysis and homogenization for proteomics workflows

✅ Deparaffinization of FFPE samples for pathology research

✅ Tissue and cell disruption for nucleic acid or protein extraction

✅ Microbial breakdown, including filamentous fungi and Mycobacterium prep for MALDI-TOF MS

What many researchers appreciate is the ability to fine-tune the ultrasonic energy depending on sample type. For delicate samples, gentle processing conditions can be applied. For tougher tissues or complex matrices, higher energy levels and longer durations can be used – all in the same run. That kind of flexibility is hard to find in conventional systems. BoFU-1600 gives you options without overcomplicating your workflow.

Why We Built This System

At Longlight Technology, we’ve spent years talking with scientists, lab managers, and technicians to understand what really matters when it comes to ultrasonic DNA shearing. We learned that accuracy, safety, and simplicity are at the top of the list. So we engineered the BoFU-1600 with those values in mind.

It’s not just about making a powerful DNA Shearing Ultrasonic System – it’s about giving researchers confidence in every sample they process. That’s why each unit is carefully calibrated by our engineers before delivery. It’s why we chose to eliminate direct-contact probes. And it’s why we made sure that even first-time users can operate the system without a steep learning curve. If your lab handles genomic workflows, molecular biology, or sample prep for proteomics, the BoFU-1600 is a system worth considering.
