Nucleic acid and protein purification systems, KingFisher™ Flex

The KingFisher™ magnetic particle processors are designed to automate time consuming sample processing of nucleic acids, proteins or cells from virtually any source (blood, cell cultures, tissue lysates, soil, faeces, for example). The KingFisher™ family consists of instruments with different throughput and volume capacities to fulfil individual sample processing needs. Each system consists of an instrument, specially designed plastics, and software. The KingFisher™ systems offer rapid and reproducible purification of high quality DNA, RNA, proteins and cells for various types of downstream applications, including genomics and proteomics, drug discovery, forensics, biomarker discovery, quality control, and veterinary assays.

High speed, fully automated purification
Purification of any sample from any source
Ready made and custom protocols
Easy operation via instrument or external PC

KingFisher™ Flex offers highly versatile, automated magnetic particle processing for DNA/RNA, protein or cell purification from virtually any source. The system is able to handle a range of volumes from 20 to 5000 μl, depending on the magnet head, using either a 96- or 24-well plate format. Supplied with pre-defined protocols, KingFisher Flex allows the creation of custom made protocols for special applications.
