Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex by Thermo Fisher Scientific

"The Kingfisher Flex is so user friendly that our lab bought a second one! Our 96 well platform allows for testing of 94 samples along with a negative and positive extraction control. The instrument ques the user to load the appropriate plate(s) in proper order of a programmed protocol. The closed system with a clear removable dome prevents dust/dirt from entering the testing site. The instrument can be decontaminated with a bactericidal/virucidal wipe."

"This is part of a pipeline for preparing captured antibodies from clinical plasma samples. It is very convenient to operate, modify, and program the protocol for each different biological sample. We are very happy with this product."

"Good machine, particularly for batch analysis. "

"So far the simplicity and minimal amount of space that it takes up in the lab have been great. Also it seems to very adaptable to other magnetic bead extraction kits which is a big plus. The results so far have been very consistent and it has sped up the overall workflow significantly with operator variability removed from the equation."

"Efficient to handle high workload particularly in era of Covid-19."

"This product has been very useful to scale up our COVID-19 testing capacity. It's a very easy-to-use instrument which means that its implementation in the work flow of the lab was very fast. The quality of the genetic material purified with the product is very high, with no cross-contamination risk at all considering the type of biological samples that we are processing. The technical support received from Thermo scientific specialists after the purchase has been valuable and fast as well."

"This equipment is very effective for our use and most importantly we receive excellent service from Thermo sales and tech support."

"Overall this is a great machine that is used almost on a daily basis. The LED screen makes it easy to select and enter program protocols as well as guiding you how and where to load extractions plates. The timer is a bonus so you can monitor how much time is remaining with the extraction process."

"The machine is very reliable. Programming and selecting protocols is very simple. The timer on the LED screen is convenient in order to keep track of remaining extraction time."
