Prime has built in kelvin functions ber and bei.

I would like to know if it also has ber' and bei' which are derivatives of the Kelvin function.

Thanks.

They are not predefined. If they existed, I should think they would be called Dber and Dbei, similar to the derivatives of the Airy functions DAi and DBi.

But that should not impede you to use them:

Or, in Prime:

Here in Prime 3:

EDIT: Not my day!

Had overlooked your first post and had not noticed that you also defined the derivative yourself in the second one.

Prime does not provide those derivatives of those Bessel functions out of the box, but you can define them yourself:

You may even use the prime symbol ' in the name by first writing the name as text between quotes "...." and then deleting the quotation marks.
