Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world
leader in serving science, today launched the new Thermo Scientific KingFisher
Duo nucleic acid purification system. The low- to medium-throughput package,
which includes the KingFisher
® magnetic particle processor
instrument, optimized DNA/RNA isolation kits, plastics consumables and the Thermo
Scientific BindIt software, provides a flexible, fully-automated workflow. The
fast, compact KingFisher Duo has a small benchtop footprint, making it ideal
for space-restricted laboratories. With the ability to process a variety of
sample types in volumes up to 5 mL, users can obtain high yields of pure
product for accurate downstream analysis. The easy-to-use system is ideal for
research and diagnostic labs that require nucleic acid purification, and it can
be easily modified for use in proteomics and cell isolation.
The flexible, open system of the KingFisher
Duo enables users to select from a variety of starting materials, from blood
and other body fluids to cells and tissue samples, allowing a single instrument
to be used for a variety of applications. As a standalone instrument, it is
able to save and run log files, and when used in combination with BindIt
software it provides absolute traceability and complete data management.
Protocols can also be developed and protected using this dedicated software,
which can be imported directly to the instrument via a USB stick.
Users can create a complete nucleic acid
purification and analysis workflow using the Thermo Scientific KingFisher Duo,
the range of KingFisher purification kits and the portfolio of PCR instruments
and reagents. With dedicated application support and an extensive portfolio of
application material, Thermo Fisher ensures that users gain reproducible, high
yields of purified product every time.
