    If the KingFisher instrument mixes too strongly, it may cause partial elution of DNA already in the Wash Buffer 3. Use only Thermo Scientific KingFisher plates, tubes and tip combs with the KingFisher instruments. Use of products from other manufacturers may cause unsuitable mixing and affect the yield of purified DNA.
