Abstract:
Described is an improved process for fragmenting a biomaterial and isolating and recovering a component thereof. The preferred improved process includes the step of performing the fragmentation by nebulizing a liquid medium containing the biomaterial. A preferred process for fragmenting isolated DNA includes the step of nebulizing a fluid containing the DNA. This preferred process provides randomness superior to prior known DNA fragmentation methods, as well as other important advantages. Improved nebulization devices are also described.
