ÄKTA ready XL ¾” Flow Kit manages flow rates of up to 1900 l/h using columns typically less than 80 cm in diameter. ÄKTA ready XL 1” Flow Kit manages flow rates of up to 3500 l/h using columns typically less than 120 cm in diameter. Each flow kit consists of five separate parts: the inlet, pre-column, column and outlet manifold, and pump head. These are easily mounted and connected to the system. Step-by-step guidance and documentation are provided in the system manual.

Gradient sections can be added to all Flow Kits for gradient elution.

Part of ReadyToProcess

Our ReadyToProcess platform consists of ready-to-use solutions for entire manufacturing processes. After a purification step has been completed using ÄKTA ready and ÄKTA ready XL, the single-use flow paths are disposed. ReadyToProcess columns can be reused for several batches within the same purification campaign. With ReadyToProcess, you can considerably speed up processes and save time due to fewer operations. There is no need to establish and validate cleaning procedures, and no complex setup. The flow paths can be changed quickly, with a downtime of less than 1 h. This saves time, capital investment, start-up costs, labor costs, and costs for consumables.

Robust and hygienic design

ÄKTA ready and ÄKTA ready XL systems are resistant to chemical agents used in protein recovery, including buffer solutions for adsorption, elution and washing, and regeneration and cleaning solutions. All material is of proven quality, and the entire flow paths are disposable. All wetted materials are fully biocompatible (USP class VI), and of animal-free origin or compliant with EMA/410/01. The materials used are traceable back to their production batches. The flow paths are produced under controlled conditions and packed in a clean room environment (class ISO 7) using validated protocols.

Regulatory Product Documentation and Services

Process safety is an integral part of the ÄKTA ready and ÄKTA ready XL systems and this includes the exchangeable flow paths. The flow paths are supported with an extensive documentation package and support.
