Automated Magnetic Bead-Based Nucleic Acid and Protein Purification

If your molecular biology laboratory is bottlenecked by tedious manual extraction steps or inconsistent purification yields, the Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex Purification System delivers automated, high-throughput magnetic bead processing for demanding sample preparation workflows. Powered by proven magnetic particle technology, this benchtop platform automates critical binding, washing, and elution steps, reducing manual pipetting requirements and helping minimize cross-contamination risk associated with conventional vacuum or spin-column workflows. Featuring the included 96-well magnetic head, this system efficiently processes standard microplate volumes for high-throughput nucleic acid and protein purification, supporting consistent processing across large sample batches. Automated magnetic bead handling improves workflow reproducibility, reduces hands-on technician time, and enables extended unattended operation for routine extraction protocols. The system is well suited for biotechnology and clinical research laboratories performing NGS library preparation, viral RNA and DNA extraction, molecular diagnostics, plasmid purification, and high-throughput biomarker research. Combining automated magnetic particle processing, reliable 96-well throughput, and reproducible sample preparation, the KingFisher Flex provides a practical solution for laboratories seeking to increase extraction efficiency while reducing manual workflow variability.

KingFisher Flex Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

New systems typically range from approximately $70,000 to $100,000, depending on configuration, software options, and automation accessories, while certified pre-owned systems generally range from $11,000 to $30,000, offering substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as magnetic bead-based extraction kits, plastics and consumables, calibration verification, preventive maintenance, software support, instrument qualification, and periodic servicing of mechanical and electronic components. Long-term ownership considerations may also include integration with laboratory automation platforms, replacement wear components, and validation activities required for regulated workflows. Purchasing a certified pre-owned Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex Purification System allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from automated sample preparation, improved reproducibility, reduced hands-on labor, high-throughput processing, and proven performance for DNA extraction, RNA purification, pathogen detection, next-generation sequencing preparation, and molecular testing applications.
