AKTA Explorer
The AKTA Explorer is a versatile and robust chromatography system designed by GE Healthcare to purify proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules. This system is widely utilized in research and industrial laboratories involved in drug discovery, biotechnology, and protein chemistry due to its scalability and high performance. The AKTA Explorer can operate at flow rates ranging from 0.01 mL/min to 100 mL/min, making it suitable for applications spanning from micro-preparative to preparative scale. It supports a wide pressure range of up to 35 MPa, accommodating high and low-pressure chromatography techniques. This chromatography system can handle multiple types of liquid chromatography, including affinity, ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and size exclusion. Its versatility is enhanced by using columns with internal diameters from 1 mm to 50 mm. This allows users to optimize their purification strategy based on the specific requirements of the purified biomolecule. Equipped with UNICORN software, the AKTA Explorer streamlines all chromatographic processes' setup, control, and monitoring. The software also provides advanced data analysis tools, which help optimize purification protocols and improve the yield and purity of the final product. The system’s modular design enables easy integration with other components, such as fraction collectors and sample pumps, facilitating a fully automated purification process tailored to complex research needs.
