不能，出厂实验方案不能编辑，但是您可以使用“另存为”功能对其重命名，然后将它作为一个新的版本来编辑。
对于核酸提取，我们建议使用我们的MagMAX试剂盒和MagJET试剂盒。其它大小在0.5到10 µm间的磁珠应该也可以使用。但是，您需要自己用Thermo Scientific BindIt软件编写您自己的KingFisher实验方案，并自己验证/优化这一实验方案。
可以，可将样品分装。在进行下一步之前，设置程序使得磁头可以从多个孔内收集样本。确保不要过量加样。
可以，反应体积可以扩大，并且所有其它体积（例如洗涤体积）需要以相同倍数扩大。除非板的容积允许，我们强烈建议反应体积扩大不应超过2倍。
是的，所有MagMAX试剂盒都能用于KingFisher Flex 磁珠处理仪。
This master mix has a heat-labile UDG. It is completely and irreversibly inactivated after 10 minute incubation at 50°C.

We have optimized protocols for extracting DNA from buccal swabs, whole blood, blood cards (Whatman FTA), oral rinse, saliva, and urine samples. In addition, the kit can be used to process vaginal microbiota samples (e.g., ThinPrep, Surepath) for gDNA extraction from yeast, bacteria (Gram positive/negative), viruses, and protozoa with the addition of additional enzymatic steps.
On rare occasions, the sample may turn cloudy after adding the Multi-Sample DNA Lysis Buffer. The sample will clear up when isopropanol is added. This will not have any impact on the yield or quality of the DNA.
Heparin is not recommended as an anti-coagulant since it can cause inhibition of PCR reactions. Instead, we strongly recommend collecting blood samples in EDTA or sodium citrate.
We recommend transferring the lysate to a new MagMAX Express-96 Deep Well Plate (Cat. No. 4388476). This option eliminates contamination risks and saves time. To transfer lysates, set a multi-channel micropipetor to ˜300 µL and transfer one row at a time. Each well should contain 200-250 µL after transfer.
Buccal swabs can be shipped at 25 degrees C or below. Exposure of the swabs to high temperatures (over 30 degrees C) during shipment has been associated with poor performance in the workflow. To prevent degradation, ensure that buccal swabs are completely dry before shipment. Place the swabs in a paper envelope for storage after collection - paper envelopes are permeable and allow the swabs to dry effectively.
We recommend using one of the following types of buccal swabs with foam tips:
- Puritan PurFlock Ultra Flocked Swabs (Fisher Scientific, Cat. No. 22-025-192)
- Puritan HydraFlock Swabs, standard tip (Puritan, Cat. No. 25-3306-H )
- Sterile Foam Tipped Swabs (Puritan, Cat. No. 25-1506 1PF)
- 4N6FLOQSwabs, regular tip (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. No. 4473979)
Note: Please do not use cotton swabs, as they may contain PCR inhibitors.
DNA Elution Buffer 1 is at a basic pH to help maximize release of the gDNA from the magnetic beads and has to be neutralized by DNA Elution Buffer 2.
RNase A treatment is not critical for this workflow. RNA that might be present in the samples is likely to be degraded in the course of the experiment and should not interfere with downstream applications. For those sample types that might potentially have some RNA carryover, we have included the RNase A as part of the Bead mix as a precaution.
Yes, you can combine the two elution buffers prior to eluting the DNA; instead of having the instrument pause, requiring you to add DNA Elution Buffer 2, press ‘start' on the instrument - just be sure to combine them directly before adding to the elution plate and before putting the plate on the KingFisher instrument (you do not want them to sit as a mix for too long). For example, if you wish to elute in 50 µL of buffer, you can mix 25 µL of DNA Elution Buffer 1 and 25 µL of DNA Elution Buffer 2, then add the total 50 µL into a well and run the protocol as you normally would.
No, manufactured protocols are locked for editing, but they can be renamed using the ‘save as' function and edited as a new version.
For nucleic acid extraction, we recommend using our MagMAX kits and MagJET kits. Other magnetic beads should work well as long as they are 0.5 to 10 µm in size. However, you will have to write your own KingFisher protocols using the Thermo Scientific BindIt software and validate/optimize the protocol on your own.

Yes, this can be done by sample splitting. Set the protocol so that the magnet will collect samples from multiple wells before continuing to the next step. Be sure not to overload.

Yes, reaction volumes can be scaled up, and all other volumes (i.e. wash volumes) will have to be increased by the same fold difference. It is generally not recommended to scale up reaction volumes more than 2-fold unless the plate's volume capacity will allow it.
Yes, all MagMAX kits can be used with the KingFisher Flex Magnetic Particle Processor.
