Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Where can I find the manual for the BindIt Software?

The User Manual for the BindIt Software can be downloaded from the BindIt Software product page online, under the Documents & Downloads section. It is also included within the BindIt Software installation file under "Documentation".

Do you have data that shows how the UV lamp of the KingFisher Duo Prime instrument gets rid of bacterial contamination?

Yes we have an application note that demonstrates the lethal effect of UVC irradiation on bacterial growth and deactivation of human gDNA, "Decontamination of the KingFisher Duo Prime processing chamber using UV light".

What type of tip heads do I receive when I purchase the KingFisher Duo Prime instrument?

You will receive the following tip heads when you purchase a KingFisher Duo Prime instrument:
• 6-tip head (for 24 deep-well plate)
• 12-tip head (for 96 deep-well plate)

Do you sell elution strips for the KingFisher Duo Prime 24 Deep-Well (6-tip) format?

We do not sell elution strips for the KingFisher Duo Prime 24 Deep-Well format. A 24 Deep-Well plate must be used for elution with the 24 Deep-Well protocol.

Are the Matrix 500 microliter ScrewTop Tubes (Cat. No. 3743AMB) compatible with the Kingfisher Duo Prime barcode reader?

Yes, the KingFisher Duo Prime barcode reader is able to read the 2D barcode on the Matrix 500 µL ScrewTop Tubes. The barcode reader can generate an error if the tubes are in the tube rack and the barcode position is not able to be scanned. If this occurs, we recommend scanning each tube individually.

Can I run two protocols simultaneously on the KingFisher Duo Prime?

You can only run two protocols on the KingFisher Duo Prime if the following criteria are met:
• Both scripts only use one plate
• Both scripts are using the 96-well format

The 24-well plate format always requires two plates, so it cannot run two protocols. If each script uses one plate and it is the 96-well format, you can run two protocols using the following instructions:
1. Start the first protocol as normal.
2. Once the first protocol has started, scroll back over to the protocol selection tab and select the second script. The second script can be the same as the first script or a different script.
3. Start the second protocol.
4. Select "Start" and load the second plate.

The instrument will be processing the first plate while you start the second plate. When the first plate is done, the KingFisher Duo Prime instrument will automatically start processing the second plate.

How do I use BindIt software 4.0 to load a script from my computer to the KingFisher Flex or KingFisher Duo/Duo Prime instrument?
