Used AMERSHAM / PHARMACIA AKTA Explorer 100 Air #9257147 for sale

AMERSHAM / PHARMACIA AKTA Explorer 100 Air is an automated laboratory equipment designed and manufactured by GE Healthcare Life Sciences. The Explorer 100 Air is a highly versatile and reliable system that can be used for protein purification and preparative chromatography. The Explorer 100 Air unit is a single-quadrant machine with a capacity of up to 100 milliliters. The tool features two pumps, which are controlled through the "FlexPump" software. The first pump allows for controlled transfer of solvent from a source container to a column and from the resulting eluate to the target container. The second pump is used to sample a stream of eluate and guide it through the flow path for online monitoring. Additionally, the asset includes a heated sample tray and a touch-screen controller. The Explorer 100 Air is also equipped with a variety of hardware accessories and components. It includes a degasser unit, which is used to remove dissolved gases from eluents, and a pressure control valve, which maintains constant flow and pressure. In addition, there are a series of back pressure valves and a gas-tight line, which completes the pressure control circuit. This model also integrates two detectors, which are used to monitor and control the elution process. The absorbance detector measures the level of absorbance of a particular sample by monitoring its concentration. The refractive index detector measures the changes in refractive index of a sample based on the concentration of its active components. The detectors are equipped with a temperature control unit, which can be programmed to bring the temperature of sample solutions close to the target temperature. Furthermore, the Explorer 100 Air contains systems for fraction collection, which are used for the collection of fractions according to specific criteria. The fraction collector helps to reduce sample loss and improve the efficiency of the isolation procedure. The equipment also includes a manual valve manifold for switching samples between different containers. This unit also contains a serial port, which allows for a connection with an external computer. The Explorer 100 Air includes a range of buffers and solutions, as well as several consumables and media. The media consists of special columns for reverse-phase chromatography, and the consumables includes filters, syringes, valves, and tubing. These components are essential for the proper operation of the system. In conclusion, AMERSHAM AKTA Explorer 100 Air is an efficient and reliable unit for protein purification and preparative chromatography. It is a single-quadrant machine with a capacity of up to 100 milliliters. The tool includes two pumps, a degasser unit, a pressure control valve, a heated sample tray, a touch-screen controller, two detectors, and systems for fraction collection. It also includes a wide range of buffers and solutions, as well as consumables and media. Together, these components provide a comprehensive and reliable solution for protein purification and chromatographic separations.
