  • Application Area:Liquid Chromatography

"AKTA Pure is part of the new FPLC line released last year by GE Healthcare. As a long time user (years) of the classical AKTAs (explorer, purifier etc). I was worried about the completely different design of new stuff. Unexpectedly I was very happily surprised with a lot of the facilities and opportunities offered by the AKTA Pure. It looks different but did not change at all, and it has all the benefits. I am particularly delighted with the injection valve, which was always the problem for my students and now has been designed to satisfy even the most non-oriented users. I strongly recommend this equipment, especially because of the attractive prices."

"Extremely easy to write protocols, aesthetically pleasing, numerous sample inlets and air sensors make it much better than older systems. Only downside is fraction collector is not cooled, and has been faulty on a couple of occasions."

"AKTA Explorer and the advanced version AKTA pure both are really amazing and worked best in my case. I currently use AKTA pure for my affinity purification and it saves lots of time and also the special sensors make it cooler. e.g: helps in avoiding column getting pumped with air with special air sensors. Also the new fraction collector allows the use of different format for collection e.g even in a 96 well format! Software interface is also now looks more user friendly and valves are made really simple and accessible for all. It is easy to use even for a beginner."

"GE has continued to advance an already excellent product line. The new AKTA Pure FPLC is modular, user friendly, and when coupled with the redesigned Unicorn software, an incredibly flexible and powerful purification system. Not quite a reason throw out your old AKTA systems yet, however if you need to add an FPLC to your lab, do not hesitate to purchase the AKTA Pure."

"Akta Pure is a new incarnation of the GE Healthcare AKTA platform. It is pitched to replace the AKTA Purifier, but is more than just an upgrade. The system now comes with a drag and drop system software for easy method development and the system hardware has been fully redesigned to be modular and easy to maintain and upgrade/change system configuration. I would recommend this system for protein purification."

  • Application Area:protein purification

"Akta Pure is the new replacement for the Akta Purifier/explorer platform. This new incarnation of the chromatography system is more than a simple evolution of the older system and is, to a large extent, a reworking of the chromatography system with a much better user interface for system control enabling a quick drag and drop approach to method development. The hardware has been designed to be modular and is far neater than the previous Akta platforms. I would recommend this new platform."
