Hi Shurjo,
We have a few customer who have tried a 2-25 minute time course of the setting below to shear RNA:
10%dc,5i, 1000cpb.
A customer generated an average shearing size of 400-500b only after a 2 minute treatment using a concentration of less that 100ng/ul. My suggestion would be to use the setting above and carryout an initial test time course of 2-25 minutes depending on the concentration of the RNA sample you will ultimately shear.
Thank you

Co ask. Did anyone has the experience for RNA shearing to target size fragment with AFA?Leave a comment:

Using Covaris S2 for RNA shearing
Does anyone have any experience using the Covaris AFA technology for
RNA fragmentation? While I'm not sure AFA can be used on RNA, if
anyone has tried it I would appreciate any feedback. The Covaris
website hints that AFA may only work for DNA fragmentation: "Double
stranded DNA (unlike RNA) will shear when exposed to the energy of
AFA".

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
