The KingFisher Apex Purification System is a versatile and user-friendly instrument that uses magnetic particle processing to automate the purification or isolation of DNA, RNA, proteins, and cells from virtually any source. It moves magnetic beads, not liquids, through the main steps of sample preparation: bind, wash, and elute. This process provides excellent quality, reproducible results, and reduces hands-on time for sample processing.

  • User-friendly high throughput sample purification system for automating DNA/RNA, protein and cell purification
  • Provides versatile and high-speed purification with reproducible results
  • Easy to use interface with touch screen empowering the user to control all details of the application and purification process
  • BindIx PC Software for added convenience
  • Extensive selection of validated protocols for different type of applications
  • Cloud library for quick protocol retrieval

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I use the KingFisher Flex Purfication System standard magnet with the new KingFisher Apex Purification System?

Unfortunately, the heads are not interchangeable between KingFisher Flex Purification System and KingFisher Apex Purification System.

How many kinds (type or size) of magnets are there for the KingFisher Apex 96 DW Head (Cat. No. 24079930)?

Please see the Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex User Manual, page 32. As you will see, there are four different heads. In terms of magnet force, it's a permanent magnet so the expected life is >100 years.

What should I do if the tip comb does not load correctly onto my Thermo Scientific KingFisher system?

If the tip does not load correctly onto a Thermo Scientific KingFisher magnetic head, we recommend that you try manually flexing the tips both lengthwise and widthwise to level the tip comb. A video of flexing the tip comb can be found here: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/dna-rna-purification-analysis/automated-purification-extraction/kingfisher-systems/resources.html. The video is under "KingFisher Flex" and titled "How to install the magnet head and check the tip comb." Flexing of the tip comb is demonstrated at timepoint 1:35. If that does not work, try a different box or lot of tips. This applies to all KingFisher instruments.
