• Never open any other covers of the KingFisher Duo Prime than the front lid or the maintenance

door (see Figure 2 on page 3) while the instrument is plugged into a power source.

• Never force a microplate onto the instrument.

• The KingFisher Duo Prime is intended for laboratory research use only. Observe proper laboratory

safety precautions, such as wearing protective clothing and following approved laboratory safety

procedures.

• Preventative maintenance instructions should be followed closely to keep the instrument in the

best condition for maximum reliability. A poorly maintained instrument does not give the best

results.

Introduction to KingFisher Duo Prime

Intended Use

The KingFisher Duo Prime magnetic particle processor (see Figure 1) is intended for professional

research use by trained personnel. The instrument is intended for automated transfer and processing of

magnetic particles in a microplate format. Use for self-testing is excluded. It is recommended that

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is followed to guarantee reliable analyses.

For technical information on the instrument, see “Technical Specifications” on page 67.

Operation Principle

The patented technology of the KingFisher Duo Prime system is based on the use of magnetic rods

covered with a disposable, specially designed tip comb and plates. The instrument functions without

any dispensing or aspiration parts or devices.

Samples and reagents, including magnetic particles, are dispensed into the plates according to the

corresponding instructions. The protocol that you have selected with the keypad and display has

already been transferred onto the onboard software. You can use the Thermo Scientific™ BindIt™

Software to create and run protocols.

King Fisher Duo Prime Magnetic Particle Processor

The KingFisher Duo magnetic particle processor has room for two plates and two elution strips. The

tip combs which protect the magnets during processing are compatible with the plates. During the

individual steps, the plates are kept stationary, and the only moving assembly is the processing head

with tip comb and magnetic rods. The head consists of two vertically moving platforms. One is needed

for the magnetic rods (12 or 6 pieces) and the other one for the plastic tip comb. For more detailed

information, see “Magnet Heads” on page 9, “Heating Blocks” on page 12, and “Elution Blocks” on

page 13.

King Fisher Duo Prime Magnetic Particle Processor

Thermo Fisher Scientific Thermo Scientific KingFisher Duo Prime Technical Manual 7

You can place up to two plates simultaneously on the turntable and have them processed automatically

one after another. The processing of two sequential runs is started with the 1st plate with samples in a

96-well plate. Prepare the second sample plate while the first plate is still being processed, select the

protocol and place the plate onto the turntable. The processing of the second plate starts automatically

when the first one is completed. 24 samples at most can be purified continuously without an

interruption by the user, and in this case, the samples are processed in 96 deep well (DW) plates. When

using large-volume configurations on 24-well plates, usually two plates are used in a run.

Before starting the magnetic particle processing with the keypad and display, the samples and reagents

are dispensed into the plate(s)/strip(s) and the tip comb is placed onto the preset row of the sample

plate, default row B, from which it is automatically loaded. The plate(s) are placed onto the turntable

into the corresponding plate position according to the protocol instructions. During the operation, the

front lid can be closed or open (see Figure 2 on page 3 and Figure 3 on page 4). The closed door

protects the processing against environmental contamination.

Principle of Magnetic Particle Processing

The operating principle employed is inverse magnetic particle processing (MPP) technology (see Figure

6). Rather than moving the liquids, the magnetic particles are moved row wise on the plate(s) or

strip(s) containing specific reagents, in contrast to the external magnet method. Magnetic particles are

transferred using magnetic rods covered with a disposable, specially designed plastic tip comb.

Working with Magnetic Rod

8Thermo Scientific KingFisher Duo Prime Technical Manual Thermo Fisher Scientific

Working with Magnetic Rod

Working with magnetic particles can be divided into five separate processes:

1. Collecting magnetic particles

2. Releasing magnetic particles

3. Washing magnetic particles

4. Incubation

5. Concentration

Collecting Magnetic Particles

During the collection of the magnetic particles, the magnetic rod is fully inside the tip. The magnetic

rods together with the tip comb move slowly up and down in the plate and the magnetic particles are

collected onto the edge of the tips. Having collected the magnetic particles, the magnetic rods together

with the tip comb can be lifted out of the wells and transferred into the next wells.

Releasing Magnetic Particles

After collection of the magnetic particles, the magnetic rods together with the tip comb are lifted from

the wells and transferred into the next wells containing the reagent, the magnetic rods together with

the tip comb are lowered into the wells and the magnetic rods are lifted off.

Magnetic particles are released by moving the tip comb up and down several times at considerably high

speed until all the particles have been mixed with the substance in the next reaction.

Washing Magnetic Particles and Incubation

Washing the magnetic particles is a frequent and an important processing phase. Washing is a

combination of the release and collection processes in wells filled with washing solution.

To maximize washing efficiency, the magnetic rods together with the tip comb are designed to have

minimized liquid-carrying properties.

To keep the magnetic particle suspension evenly mixed in incubating long-running reactions, the tip

comb can be moved up and down in the solution.
