Shearing DNA to a certain size is the first step in many medical and biological applications, especially in next-generation gene sequencing technology. In this article, we introduced a highly efficient ultrasonic DNA fragmentation method enhanced by needle-induced air bubbles, which is easy to operate with high throughput. The principle of the bubble-enhanced sonication system is introduced and verified by flow field and acoustic simulations and experiments. Lambda DNA long chains and mouse genomic DNA short chains are used in the experiments for testing the performance of the bubble-enhanced ultrasonic DNA fragmentation system. Air bubbles are an effective enhancement agent for ultrasonic DNA fragmentation; they can obviously improve the sound pressure level in the whole solution, thus, achieving better absorption of ultrasound energy. Growing bubbles also have a stretched function on DNA molecule chains and form a huge pressure gradient in the solution, which is beneficial to DNA fragmentation. Purified lambda DNA is cut from 48.5 to 2 kbp in 5 min and cut to 300 bp in 30 min. Mouse genomic DNA (asymptotic to 1400 bp) decreases to 400 bp in 5 min and then reduces to 200 bp in 30 min. This bubble-enhanced ultrasonic method enables widespread access to genomic DNA fragmentation in a standard ultrasonic water bath for many virus sequencing demands even without good medical facilities.
