Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How can I calibrate the heating block for the KingFisher Flex instrument if it is off by 1 degree Celsius or more?

The accuracy of the KingFisher Flex heating block is ± 1°C for up to 80°C, and ± 2°C for up to 115°C (see page 72 of the manual). If there is an issue with the accuracy of the heating block, you can contact to schedule a service call. Calibration of the heating block can only be performed by one of our engineers.

How does the KingFisher Flex Purification heating block work?

The KingFisher Flex Purification System heating block is located inside the instrument and can be used automatically during the protocol. All KingFisher Flex plates can be heated using specially designed, interchangeable heating blocks. Any number of heating steps can be added to a protocol. When a protocol enters a heating step, the plate is automatically moved to the dedicated heating position for heating. Afterwards, the protocol continues automatically to the next step.

Can I re-start a script that has stopped mid-way on the KingFisher Flex/KingFisher Duo Prime instrument?

The only way is to do this is by rewriting the script from where you want it to start, or start the run all over again.

I have a BindiT protocol installed on the KingFisher Flex/DuoPrime instrument and would like to edit it. How do I do it?

There is no way to edit a BindiT protocol that has been installed on the KingFisher Flex/KingFisher DuoPrime instrument. The only way to edit the protocol is by saving the original .bdz file to a PC and then editing it in BindiT software.

Can I use magnetic beads for protein isolation with the KingFisher Flex Purification System? If so, do you recommend any specific magnetic beads and are KingFisher Flex script protocol (.bdz) files available for these applications?

Any kind of protein purification can be done on the KingFisher Flex or Duo Prime as long as it is based on magnetic beads. Some template protocols for different magnetic beads are available for the KingFisher Flex and Duo Prime at this website: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/dna-rna-purification-analysis/automated-purification-extraction/automated-protocols-software.html?open=protein.
Please know that these templates are only a starting point and each protein and application is unique so optimization will be required. This optimization and protocol modification is the responsibility of the end user.
