Based on the companies previous offering, the KingFisher 96, the Kingfisher Flex should offer increased freedom and throughput by employing magnetic heads for both 96 and 24 well plates. The addition of a 24 well magnet head enables the high-speed processing of samples from 200 – 5000 µL in 24-well deep well plates, with excellent reproducibility and quality. In combination with 20 – 1000 µL volume range for 96-well plate processing, the latest KingFisher should prove to be a much more flexible option than its predecessor.

The larger combined volume range (20 – 5000 µL) of the KingFisher Flex should also extend its range of application. Clinical and biomedical researchers requiring larger volumes of starting material such as whole blood for example, will find this iteration of the companies magnetic particle processor much more useful.
