  • Application Area:For performing Chromatography

"AKTA (ÄKTA) avant - advanced protein separation / purification devised by GE Healthcare is very good system for purification of proteins and nucleic acid. I am impressed with its ability to perform three chromatography methods at once. I have used it for Molecular size exclusion followed by Ion-exchange followed by affinity or in reverse direction. I recommend it to be used for proteins and nucleic acid purification. "

"Having moved from separate stages of manual antibody purification to an AKTA rig has meant a huge amount of time saved with the potential to easily set up and leave the system. I Would recommend it, although it is complex to understand at first."
