The main differences are throughput, the number of samples per run, and the way the models handle the plates and process.
KingFisher instruments are 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
Automate labor-intensive steps such as de-capping and pipetting test tubes using the KingFisher SpeciTRAX Sample Transfer system. Lab automation instruments are designed to reduce touch time and free up technicians when processing samples at high-throughput volumes.
