Introduction to the KingFisher
Duo
Intended use
The KingFisher Duo magnetic particle processor (Figure 1–1) is
intended for professional research use by trained personnel. The
instrument is intended for automated transfer and processing of
magnetic particles in a microplate format. Use for self-testing is
excluded. It is recommended that Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is
followed to guarantee reliable analyses.
Refer to Chapter 6: "Technical Specifications".
Principle of
The KingFisher Duo magnetic particle processor (Figure 1–1) is
designed for automated transfer and processing of magnetic particles in
operation
microplate format.
The patented technology of the KingFisher Duo system is based on the
use of magnetic rods covered with a disposable, specially designed tip
comb and plates. The instrument functions without any dispensing or
aspiration parts or devices.
Samples and reagents, including magnetic particles, are dispensed into
the plates according to the corresponding instructions. The protocol
that is selected by the user via the keypad and display has already been
transferred onto the onboard software. Thermo Scientific BindIt
Software can be used to create and run protocols.
