14 个常见问题解答

我可以编辑出厂自带的KingFisher Flex实验方案吗?

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。

我可以在KingFisher Flex仪器上使用其它厂家生产的磁珠吗?

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。

我想使用KingFisher Flex仪器从大体积的液体样本中提取核酸。我可以使用比实验方案中建议的体积更多的样本吗?

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。

使用KingFisher Flex仪器时我可以扩大我的反应体积吗?

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。

Can I use water instead of Elution Buffer in the elution step of GeneJET and MagJET nucleic acid purification kits?

We would highly recommend using the provided Elution Buffer in the elution step for best results. You may use nuclease-free water; however, it may affect the yield of the nucleic acids during purification and their stability during storage.

Are MagJET and GeneJET plasmid purification kits compatible with EndA+ bacterial strains?

Yes, MagJET and GeneJET Plasmid DNA Purification Kits are suitable for plasmid DNA purification from EndA+ strains. Please refer to the specific kit protocol for details. GeneJET Plasmid Miniprep Kit requires Wash Solution I (Cat. No. R1611, not included in the kit) for EndA+ strains.

Which magnetic rack should I use to follow the manual protocol of MagJET kits?

Thermo Scientific offers MagJET Separation Rack of different formats for 1.5 mL tubes (Cat. Nos. MR01, MR02), 50 mL tubes (Cat. No. MR04), and 96-well plates (Cat. No. MR03). You may use other compatible magnetic racks available in the market as well.

Is a sample size available for MagJET kits?

No, we do not offer a sample size for MagJET kits.

Are GeneJET spin columns or MagJET magnetic beads available separately?

No, we do not offer GeneJET columns or MagJET magnetic beads separately at this time.

Can I use the KingFisher instruments for plasmid purification?

We recommend using the MagJet Plasmid DNA kit (Cat. No. K2791) for plasmid purification. Scripts for using the MagJet Plasmid DNA kit with the KingFisher Flex and KingFisher Duo Prime Purification Systems are available for download on the kit product page (https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/K2791). The ChargeSwitch Plasmid ER Mini Kit (Cat. No. CS10100) is also an option for plasmid purification. There is no script currently available for using ChargeSwitch Plasmid ER Mini Kit, but you can create a custom protocol for use with the KingFisher Flex and KingFisher Duo Prime Purification Systems.

Can I edit the manufactured KingFisher Flex protocols?

No, manufactured protocols are locked for editing, but they can be renamed using the ‘save as' function and edited as a new version.

Can I use magnetic beads from other vendors with the KingFisher Flex instrument?

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.

I am working with liquid samples with high volume and want to extract nucleic acid from them using the KingFisher Flex instrument. Can I use more volume than the protocol advises?

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.

Can I scale up my reaction volume with the KingFisher Flex instrument?

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.
