Thermo Scientific KingFisher SpeciTRAX Automated Sample Transfer and Liquid Handling System

The Thermo Scientific KingFisher SpeciTRAX is an automated liquid handling and sample transfer system designed for high-throughput molecular biology, clinical research, and pharmaceutical laboratories. This system enables automated sample accessioning and transfer, accelerating workflows critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biotechnology research.

Key features include:

• Automation of sample transfer from 192 capped tubes into two 96-deep-well plates within 40 minutes, optimizing sample throughput.
• Precision pipetting using fluid sensing tips ensures accurate and reproducible sample handling essential for applications such as DNA and RNA extraction, protein isolation, and nucleic acid purification.
• Integration of robust safety protocols with HEPA filtration and UV decontamination to maintain contamination-free processing environments conducive to sensitive biomanufacturing workflows.
• The system operates on 100-240V and supports 50Hz/60Hz electrical standards, suitable for global laboratory settings.

The KingFisher SpeciTRAX system is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows where contamination control and automation robustness are critical. Its closed-door design minimizes manual handling, enhancing biosafety and preserving sample integrity, making it essential for clinical diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Though manufactured in 2021 and in good physical condition, this particular unit has incomplete functional testing, powering on without evidence of malfunction. This system is optimal for laboratories seeking to streamline and automate their sample preparation processes in advanced biotechnology and life sciences environments.
