ÄKTA go™ chromatography system
Compact liquid chromatography system to support routine protein purification in research laboratories.
Overview
ÄKTA go™ system is a compact system for preparative and lab-scale protein chromatography.
- Routine protein purification fitted into a compact system, witha footprint of only 335 × 464 mm (width × depth)
- Intuitive method creation in minutes and interactive process picture for maximum control and easy access to manual controls even during method runs
- Proven design of ÄKTA™ systems and UNICORN™ software combined with prepacked columns and resins for reliable operation and trusted results in protein purification
The system has a modular design with all valves, monitors, and columns mounted on the front, wet side of the system. This allows for easy interaction with all instrument modules. A fraction collector can be placed on the side of the system or in a tunnel under the system.
Standard components
Optional components
- Extra sample inlet valves
- pH valve, enablies in-line pH monitoring during a run
- Fraction collection is made possible by adding either fraction collector F9-R for collection of fractions in up to 175 tubes, or fraction collector F9-T for collection in deep-well plates, microplates, and small tubes
- Column selection valve V9-C, with five column positions and built-in pressure sensors positioned before and after the columns. The two columns selection valves enable up-and-down flow of the column as well as by-passing the column
- Outlet valve V9-0 allows for collection of flow-through ie unbound substance flowing through the column. V9-O directs the flow from the instrument to a fraction collector, to any of the ten outlet ports, or to waste
- I/O-box for connecting external equipment to the system, such as an autosampler or detectors for measurement of refractive index, light scattering, and fluorescence
- Air sensors for detecting air in sample or buffers, or advancing the method to the next step when sample loading is complete
Run protein purification in parallel
Connect up to 3 ÄKTA go™ chromatography systems and use the same computer screen to control the entire process. The full solution allows the possibility to purify 15 samples in parallel. Each system needs a separate PC with UNICORN™ software to run the instrument server.
Visualize the parallel set up with the Purify App configurator
Explore available options and build a system for the ÄKTA go™ system using the Purify App tool.
Software
ÄKTA go™ system is fully supported by UNICORN software and gives you real-time control of your chromatography system. Automated methods can be created in minutes for most common chromatography techniques using preprogrammed methods. UNICORN software also supports evaluation of results.
UNICORN software consists of four modules: Administration, Method editor, System control (including Process picture, and Evaluation. The modules work together for increased operational security, efficiency, and productivity.
