- NOTES
The Amersham Biosciences AKTA Prime FPLC offers a lab scale, one step, flexible solution for liquid chromatography and protein purification needs. It’s well suited to general purification tasks like gel filtration of recombinant DNA, ion exchange, buffer exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, as well as affinity chromatography. With high reproducibility and accuracy, this compact FPLC includes a UV and conductivity monitors, and fraction collector and valves for buffer selection, flow diversion, and sample injection, as well as gradient formation. The Amersham Biosciences AKTA Prime FPLC comes pre-programmed with common use methods like sample cleanup, tagged protein affinity purification and MAbs, in simple to use formats.
The Amersham Biosciences AKTA Prime FPLC pump produces flow rates of up to 50 ml per minute with pressures up to 1MPa. Optimal results are achieved by using easy to attach pre-packed columns such as HiLoad, HiPrep or HiTrap. This protein purification system comes with AKTA PrimeView 5.31 software which allows the user to view the monitor signals from a run in real time. Results are automatical generated once a run is complete and saved in the log book. The PrimeView software records information such as curve data, run long, method information and system settings. User can save reports and convert to various file formats as well as print. This AKTA FPLC is great way for start-up labs to purify their own proteins and antibodies, instead of buying them from outsourced contract lab.
