The GE AKTA Micro FPLC System is a highly efficient and versatile chromatography system designed for purifying proteins at micro-scale quantities, emphasizing on maximizing sample recovery and purity in research and development applications. This compact system is ideal for applications requiring precise control and flexibility, such as the purification of monoclonal antibodies, proteins, and nucleotides. The AKTA Micro FPLC's small footprint makes it an excellent choice for laboratories with limited space, while its user-friendly software ensures straightforward setup and operation for both experienced users and newcomers to chromatography. With its capability to handle small sample volumes with high precision, the AKTA Micro FPLC System is an essential tool for biochemists and molecular biologists focusing on the detailed study of biomolecules.
The GE AKTA Micro FPLC System is not only compact and user-friendly but also boasts advanced specifications tailored for precise and efficient chromatographic separations. The system is equipped with a P-905 Pump, offering a wide flow rate range from as low as 0.001 ml/min up to 2 ml/min, accommodating both isocratic and gradient modes, ensuring precise control over your purification process. With a flow rate accuracy of ± 2% or 2 µl/min (whichever is greater) and reproducibility with an RSD of less than 0.5%, the P-905 pump exemplifies reliability and precision, even at low flow rates. Its programmable pressure limits and internal volume of less than 600 µl/pump module make it versatile for various applications, supporting up to 35 MPa (5075 psi) pressure ranges.
The UV-900 Monitor enhances the system's capabilities with a broad wavelength range from 190 to 700 nm, allowing for the detection of multiple absorbances simultaneously, with exceptional accuracy and reproducibility. Its sensitivity and stability ensure accurate monitoring of your sample's purity throughout the process. Incorporating the pH/C-900 Monitor, the system can measure conductivity across a wide range from 1 µS/cm to 999.9 mS/cm, ensuring precise assessment of ionic content in your samples, critical for quality control and consistency in protein purification. The Frac-950 Fraction Collector rounds out this powerful system, designed for flexible fraction collection with a flow rate range of 0.001 to 100 ml/min. Its ability to handle a wide pH stability range ensures compatibility with a variety of samples, while its precise fraction size control and no spillage range make it an indispensable tool for collecting your purified compounds.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
