The Thermo Scientific KingFisher Presto is a versatile benchtop sample preparation instrument that integrates with a compatible robotic liquid handler (required) for hands-free automation. It offers consistent, ultrahigh-throughput extraction and purification of DNA, RNA, proteins, and cells.
In addition to the common features of all KingFisher Purification Systems, the Presto offers:
Automated ultrahigh-throughput purification
24–96 samples per run
Compact size
Easy fitting to automation systems
Designed for integration
Compatible with selected liquid handling instruments
Choose from two plate formats
Wide 20 µL–5 mL volume range
Heating capability
For applications requiring elevated temperatures
Thermo Scientific BindIt software is included with KingFisher Duo Prime, Flex, and Presto instruments. The software makes it easy to create, download, run, modify, and store protocols for your KingFisher applications. 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.
The KingFisher Presto 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. For a selection of application kits, reagents, and protocols that run on the KingFisher Presto, see the Kits, Reagents, and Protocols tab.
Many commercial robotic liquid handlers are compatible with KingFisher Presto. Contact your KingFisher sales representative or your preferred vendor to see if they have developed and tested a KingFisher interface.
For information about plates, plastics, and plate setup products designed to work optimally with the KingFisher Presto, see the Accessories tab.
