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.
