Thermo Scientific™ KingFisher™ mL Purification System
Description
The KingFisher™ mL Purification System is discontinued. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers other automation platforms such as the Thermo Scientific™ KingFisher™ Duo Prime Purification System, KingFisher™ Flex Purification System and KingFisher Apex. The company will continue to support current KingFisher™ mL users with plastics, service, and technical support through 2028, or best effort.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has transitioned to limited support stage. It will offer limited support contracts and provide best-effort service and support, subject to availability of spare parts and resources.
If you are interested in upgrading to one of its newer sample preparation instruments, please contact your local account manager for product information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We do not have prewritten scripts for using MagMAX kits on the KingFisher mL instrument. We recommend adapting scripts written for the KingFisher Flex or KingFisher Presto instruments. You will still need to validate the scripts on your KingFisher mL instrument.
Yes, the MagMAX Express-96 Deep Well Head can be used on the KingFisher 96 instrument. However, it is not compatible with the KingFisher Flex instrument.
If the tip does not load correctly onto a Thermo Scientific KingFisher magnetic head, we recommend that you try manually flexing the tips both lengthwise and widthwise to level the tip comb. A video of flexing the tip comb can be found here: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/dna-rna-purification-analysis/automated-purification-extraction/kingfisher-systems/resources.html. The video is under "KingFisher Flex" and titled "How to install the magnet head and check the tip comb." Flexing of the tip comb is demonstrated at timepoint 1:35. If that does not work, try a different box or lot of tips. This applies to all KingFisher instruments.
