The ÄKTA start Chromatography System (29022094) is a compact preparative chromatography system for lab-scale protein purification. It is designed as a stand-alone system with an intuitive touchscreen display, simple flow path and user-friendly interface for moving from manual to automated purification. The system supports 0.5 to 5 mL/min operating flow, 10 mL/min wash flow and pressure up to 5 bar.
Key Features
- Compact lab-scale purification system supports quick and reliable one-step protein purification workflows
- Stand-alone touchscreen operation allows runs to be controlled directly from the instrument display
- UNICORN start control option supports method design, system control, run evaluation and data management when connected to a computer
- 0.5 to 5 mL/min operating flow range supports routine preparative chromatography methods
- 10 mL/min wash flow helps speed system preparation and wash routines
- 5 bar maximum pressure supports compatible low pressure preparative chromatography applications
- LED-based 280 nm UV monitoring provides fixed-wavelength absorbance detection without warm-up time
- Conductivity monitoring tracks conductivity in the flow cell with temperature compensation
- 0.4 mL static mixer blends buffers during gradient runs for reproducible purification work
- Built-in quick start methods and templates support common purification techniques, including workflows using HiTrap and HiPrep columns
- Portable 8 kg benchtop design allows use on the laboratory bench or in cold-room operation from +4°C to +35°C
- Optional fraction collection can be added with the Frac30 fraction collector for collecting up to 30 fractions
Note: Frac30 fraction collector and UNICORN start control software are optional modules and are not stated as included with part 29022094.
Benefits
- Helps laboratories transition from manual purification to automated, repeatable chromatography runs.
- Simplifies operator training with touchscreen controls, visible flow path and predefined method options.
- Supports reproducible isocratic and gradient elution using controlled pump flow, mixer and monitoring modules.
- Improves run visibility through real-time monitoring of UV, conductivity, pressure, flow and gradient conditions.
- Provides flexible operation as a stand-alone system or through optional UNICORN start software.
- Suits cold-room purification workflows where compact size and 8 kg instrument weight are important.
