Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Do you have scripts for using the MagMAX kits on the KingFisher mL instrument?

We do not have prewritten scripts for using MagMAX kits on the KingFisher mL instrument. We recommend adapting scripts written for the KingFisher Flex or KingFisher Presto instruments. You will still need to validate the scripts on your KingFisher mL instrument.

Can I use the MagMAX Express-96 Deep Well Head (Cat. No. 4388435) on the KingFisher 96 instrument?

Yes, the MagMAX Express-96 Deep Well Head can be used on the KingFisher 96 instrument. However, it is not compatible with the KingFisher Flex instrument.

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.
