Protocols and software

Thermo Scientific BindIt software is included with KingFisher Duo Prime and Flex instruments. The software makes it easy to create, download, run, modify, and store protocols for your KingFisher applications.

 

Protocols are available for nucleic acid and protein purification procedures with reagent kits. The software allows you to define and edit steps, parameters, plates, and reagents for every part of your protocol—bind, wash, and elute.

For more information about BindIt, see the Features tab.


Applications

The KingFisher Flex can gently and efficiently isolate and purify nucleic acids, proteins, and cells from a range of sample types for a wide variety of downstream applications.
