VANTAA, Finland (January 17, 2011) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today launched new Thermo Scientific KingFisher nucleic acid purification kits that enable faster throughput and more rapid results. The kits contain all relevant buffers and reagents and are designed and optimized for use with Thermo Scientific KingFisher magnetic particle processors. In that configuration, the entire process is automated with “walk-away” capabilities that ensure higher sample purity and yields. Available for a range of sample types, from blood to plant material, the KingFisher® kits enable users to obtain a complete, cost-effective workflow solution, which is ideal for biotechnology, clinical, academic and pharmaceutical laboratories.
The KingFisher particle processor enables fast and accurate purification of DNA or RNA, increasing efficiency for downstream analysis. In addition, the fully-scalable system has an expandable sample volume which, in combination with adjustable kit volumes, enables users to expand their capabilities in-line with changing throughput requirements without the need to purchase new equipment.
