The KingFisher Duo (Figure 2–6) has room for two plates and two
elution strips. The tip combs 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 details, refer also to “Magnet heads” on page 17,
“Heating blocks” on page 17 and “Elution blocks” on page 18.
Up to two plates can be simultaneously on the turntable and processed
automatically one after another. The processing of two sequential runs
is started with the 1
st
plate with samples in a 96-well plate. Then you
prepare the 2
nd
sample plate while the first plate is still being processed,
select the protocol and place the plate onto the turntable. The
processing of the 2
nd
plate starts automatically after the 1
st
one is
completed. Max. 24 samples in a 96 deep well plate can be processed
