Find the model that fits your needs
KingFisher instruments are the most versatile sample preparation instruments in the lab, and are elegantly designed to support multiple applications.
- Various throughputs—process 6–96 samples per run depending on the instrument model
- Interchangeable formats—choose 24- or 96-well plates so you can process a wide range of input volumes
- Protocol customization—easily edit, modify, or create new protocols
- Optimized reagents—compatible with multiple magnetic-bead reagents
