The instrument was a bit confusing at first place but then was easy by knowing pumps
In my university.
I used the instrument as I needed to collect the pure anidbody and antigen complex for my project. In the beginning I faced some problems to set up the suitable buffer but after table shouting I could manage to find the best buffer and correct pH to have the best results out of devices. The instrument was a bit confusing at first place but then when I could imagine how the pumps were working was easy to understand. The purity of antibodies and antigens was very excellent and I didn't lose that much of proteins. The time I spent washing the instrument before and after my work was too long and I could say that was the main problem that it had. Any how the process of washing was mostly hands free so I could deal with it. Another thing in this process was important was the purification coupon which we had to be careful in terms of using and storing

Works as it should. Always reliable.
Protein purification
It’s an Akta. Does what people expect it will over time. I think they have made it far more user-proof than previous iterations. We’ve had it about 5 years with very few problems.

Results are reproducible and comparable.
Purification of Peptide API
Software is straightforward to use, results are reproducible and comparable. Service is highly well maintained. Compared to other products in the market slightly expensive but the produced results are robust enough.
Review Date: 16 Jan 2023 | Cytiva
A perfect product with improved chemistry
high salt-based bioreactor output
It was great to observe the results - reduction of HCPs & HCDNAs with maximum loading without any dilutions

Robust and reliable
Purify proteins
I use the ÄKTA pure from Cytiva, along with a variety of columns attached to it, in order to purify proteins utilizing affinity, ion exchange and affinity chromatography. The machine is in constant use nearly everyday for the past 3 years showing no signs of wear so I would say it is quite robust.

It is very helpful for downstream process development
Vaccine
After training I can say the system is not so difficult to use. But for working like an average user, you will need at least 1 year of practice. After that it will be easy and you should have a good application expert to answer your problems about both machine and software. With practice and experience from your expert, you can accelerate your learning process.

Ease of operation and robustness of the equipment.
Purification and chromatography
There is no other such type of instrument still in the market. AKTA instruments are very robust, easy to operate and low maintenance with multi operational functions, all in one instrument. The best part is we can upgrade as per the need by adding more features like extra pump, injection valves etc.
