What software can I use with the MagMAX-96 instrument? Product FAQ

Answer

The MagMAX-96 instrument is compatible with the old KingFisher software and the new BindIT software (designed for KingFisher Flex). We generally recommend using the BindIT software over the KingFisher software since it is the newer software and it is the only one that is compatible with Windows7 and newer Windows versions. The KingFisher software is only compatible with Windows XP.

I am getting an error message with the MagMAX Express/KingFisher Flex instrument. What should I do? Product FAQ

Answer

Turn the instrument on and off to see whether the error message disappears. Alternatively, do a dry run without any samples. If the issue could be consumable dependent try a new set/lot of tip combs. If the error message repeatedly occurs, please contact Technical Support (techsupport@thermofisher.com).

How does the heating block work with the MagMAX Express-96 Magnetic Particle Processor? Product FAQ

Answer

The heating block is located inside the instrument and can be used automatically during the protocol. Both MagMAX Express-96 plates and PCR plates (skirted) can be heated using specially designed, interchangeable heating blocks. Any number of heating steps can be added to the protocol. During the protocol, when the protocol enters the heating step, the plate is automatically moved to the dedicated heating position for heating. After the heating step, the protocol continues automatically to the next step.
Note: No cooling steps can be added.

Will the magnet get weaker? If so, how long can they be used? Product FAQ

Answer

The MagMAX Express-96 magnets are made of material that is very stable. The magnetic field will not get weaker. However, extreme mechanical force or heating can cause damage to the magnets.
Note: It is very important to keep the MagMAX Express-96 heads away from each other and other magnets at all times. Clashing of the magnets together causes serious damage to the magnets.

The MagMAX Express Magnetic Particle Processor will not pick up the tip comb. Any suggestions for what I should do? Product FAQ

Answer

A potential cause is that the plastic tip comb has warped slightly due to its design. This is why they are packed in pairs, so that they maintain their shape. Flex the backbone of the tip comb and try again.
