Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a world leader in serving science, has launched the new Thermo Scientific KingFisher nucleic acid purification kits, designed and optimized for use with the Thermo Scientific KingFisher magnetic particle processor. The purification kits are designed to enable faster throughput, rapid results and can be used on DNA and RNA to produce high level purity with excellent yield.

The KingFisher Flex system offers highly versatile, automated magnetic particle processing for DNA/RNA, protein or cell purification from virtually any source. Thermo Scientific KingFisher Kits complete the nucleic acid purification workflow, providing an optimized high-throughput method with excellent flexibility.

To illustrate the new kits, supporting material is available for download. A poster entitled ‘High-throughput purification of DNA and RNA with Thermo Scientific KingFisher Kits’ is available, in addition to further information presented in several technical notes. These expand upon the use of the KingFisher® systems to extract biological factors from blood DNA, plant DNA, cell and tissue DNA, total RNA, and viral NA, - available via the link on the right.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
