Used GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES / AMERSHAM AKTA Purifier #293799657 for sale

AMERSHAM, formerly GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES Biosciences, was founded in 1960 and is a global biotechnology leader. The company's headquarters are located in Buckinghamshire, UK and their products are distributed worldwide. One such product is GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES / AMERSHAM AKTA Purifier, a liquid chromatography equipment designed specifically for the isolation and purification of proteins. AMERSHAM AKTA Purifier system is a 9-unit unit comprised of two pumps, one injector, one gradient controller, one UV detector, one variable-wavelength detector, one Autosampler, one fraction collector and one machine control unit. The tool works by running sample solutions through a thin-film chromatography column, using a chemical solvent mixture (mobile phase) to drive the separation. The mixture is pressurized through the columns by two pumps, while precise control over the speed and rate of sample loading is ensured by the injector. As the sample passes through the column, the chromatographic media attracts and binds different solutes and then releases them at specific points during the separation process. The asset's UV and variable-wavelength detectors measure the amount of light absorbance at set wavelength intervals, which identifies and quantifies each component in the sample. An automater is then used to draw out the separated proteins from a reservoir, while the fraction collector then collects each separated component into fractions for downstream applications. The Autosampler and fraction collector provide users with the highest levels of accuracy and precision. Moreover, the entire process is governed and monitored by the model control unit, which features user-friendly software for day-to-day operation and performance. GE HEALTHCARE LIFE SCIENCES AKTA Purifier equipment is compatible with a range of media, reservoirs, accessories, components and detectors. It also boasts a number of features which enable fast run-times, superior performance and increased reliability. These include its large volume capacity, high-pressure tolerance, advanced temperature regulation, rapid gradient formation and unsurpassed control of mobile phase. In addition, its superior sensitivity and selectivity make it an ideal tool for research applications. Overall, AKTA Purifier is a state-of-the-art liquid chromatography system designed to solve many of the problems associated with traditional chromatographic techniques. Its superior precision, reliability and detection abilities make it the perfect tool for protein purification and isolation, providing users with results of superior quality and accuracy.
