The protocol settings listed above are recommended guidelines and actual results may vary depending on the type and amount of starting material, purity level, concentration and/or sample viscosity. It is highly recommended that a time course response experiment be carried out (e.g. varying the time of “on” and “off” durations as well as the number of cycles) to determine the appropriate treatment for your specific sample. Starting material with a smaller sample volume and a greater concentration than the recommended range may require a different time course to ensure homogenous shearing results.

Important comments about DNA shearing
The Diagenode ACT (Adaptative Cavitation Transfer technology) process is highly reproducible.However,attentionmustbepaidtothefollowingtreatmentattributestoensurebestresults:
• Tubes:Atpresent,therecommendedtubevesselsaretheDiagenode’sBioruptor®NGS0.65mlMicrotubesforDNAShearing(CatNo.WA-005-0500).Payattentionnottodamagethecapwhenclosingthetubessincethiscouldaltersonicationresults.
• Sample volume: The recommended volume of the Diagenode’s Bioruptor® NGS 0.65 mlMicrotubesforDNAShearing(CatNo.WA-005-0500)is100µl.Whenusinglowervolumes(e.g.≤50µl),lessreproducibleresultsmaybeobservedduetoanalterationoftheultrasonicwavesdistributioninthesamplefluid;thus,reducingtheefficiencyofsonicationwhichmayresultinbroadersizedistributionorlargerpeaks.
• Sample concentration:DiagenoderecommendsusingDNAconcentrationrangingbetween1and20ng/µl(10ng/µlrecommended).Usinglargerconcentration(e.g.50-100ng/µl)mayresultinbroaderpeaksorvariablepeakdistribution.
• Sample preparation:Sampleviscositymayhaveamajorimpactonsonicationresults.CarefulresuspensionofDNAsampleisstronglyrecommendedbeforesonicationprocessing.Multiplepipettingandgentlevortexingfollowedbyashortcentrifugationtorecoversamplevolumeatthebottomofthetubeisthereforestronglyrecommended.StoringDNAsamplesoniceduring10-15minutesbeforesonicationhasalsobeenshowntoimprovereproducibility.
• DNA quality: DNA quality and quantity must be considered carefully since bad quality andquantityDNAmayhaveseveral impactsonsonicationandnext-gensequencingdownstreamapplications.First,DNAcontamination(e.g.fromsuperfluousnucleicacidssuchasRNA,smallnucleicacidfragments,excessproteins,orothercontaminatingmaterials)mayinterferewithDNA measurement method leading to incorrect DNA quantitation thus. Also contaminatingRNA in genomic DNA preparation might generate a biased fragment distribution profile onmicrofluidics-basedplatform(e.g.AgilentBioanalyzer)oraltersonicationeffiency.
Therefore it is highly recommended to use only high quality DNA when sonicating DNA forNext-Gensequencing librarypreparation.TheDNAsample tobeprocessedshouldbehighlypure,havinganOD260/280ratioofbetween1.8and2.0,andshouldbeas intactaspossible.DNAextractedusingstandardtechniques(e.g.ProteinaseKdigested,doublephenol/chloformextraction,ethanolprecipitated,treatmentwithRNase-DNasefreeenzymaticdigestiontoremovecontaminantRNA)orcommercialspin-columnbasedkitsarerecommended.

Please note that there are three main sources of variation in both peak base-pair size anddistribution:
1) ThephysicalprocessofDNA fragmentationmightnotbeentirely random inAT-orGC-richregions.
2) The analytical process to determine fragment size has inherent variances (for example, gelelectrophoresisandmicrofluidics-basedplatform).Therefore,fragmentdistributionsandpeakvalues,even fromtechnical replicates,maynotappear identical.
