g-TUBE for DNA Shearing

[coffee52]

Recently, Covaris shows a new tube for longer size DNA fragmentation, g-TUBE. Have someone ever used it, or known it? How about the result?
And I want to know whether it can be reused?
Thanks!

Hi coffee52, i use for the first time today the Covaris g-TUBE and we in lab decide wash three times with Miliq H2O and reuse in a another moment with the same species to avoid contamination. The tube is a simple and finely engineered ruby shearing orifice.
