ÄKTA systems (GE Healthcare Life Sciences)

A number of ÄKTA chromatography systems are available for separation and purification of biomolecules at scale ranging from micrograms to grams. The following instruments are located in the Signalhaus:

  • ÄKTAxpress
  • ÄKTAprime plus
  • ÄKTA Avant 25
  • ÄKTAexplorer

 

The ÄKTAexplorer and the ÄKTA Avant 25 are especially designed for fast automated media screening and method development. An integrated “design of experiments” functionality helps in obtaining the maximum information from a minimum number of experiments and an automated on-line buffer preparation enables easy screening for optimal buffer compositions and quick preparation of single buffers.

The ÄKTAprime plus is a robust one-step purification system for routine repeat of optimized purification protocols, while the ÄKTAxpress allows to perform protocols with up to four successive chromatographic steps with minimal invested manpower.

Our ÄKTA systems are equipped with a broad range of chromatographic columns and media, which cover all main types of chromatographic techniques: size exclusion, cation and anion exchange, affinity, hydrophobic interaction and immobilized-metal affinity (IMAC) chromatography.
