Designed with a user-friendly interface, it simplifies the transition to automated purification with its intuitive design, clear flow path, and easy operation. The system includes a peristaltic pump with a four-roller head to ensure smooth flow, supporting a range of 0.5 to 5 ml\/min for operation and up to 10 ml\/min for wash flows. It boasts accurate and precise flow rates, with a maximum pressure capacity of 5 bar. Suitable for a viscosity range of 0.6 to 5 cP, it incorporates solenoid switch valves for buffer, sample, and wash management, along with a rotary-type manual injection valve. The AKTA Start can operate with gradient flows from 0.5 to 5ml\/min and maintains gradient composition accuracy within ± 5%.\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\tEquipped for real-time monitoring, it features a single wavelength UV detection at 280 nm and a conductivity range of 0 to 300 mS\/cm, ensuring accurate assessment of the purification process. The system can handle a variety of fraction volumes up to 15 ml across several vessel types and is complemented by the Frac30 fraction collector for versatile sample collection. Designed for convenience, it includes a static mixer volume of 0.4 ml and a low delay volume of 0.49 ml, optimizing sample processing. The temperature monitoring capabilities range from 4°C to 35°C, accommodating various experimental conditions.\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\tAdditionally, the GE AKTA Start FPLC System emphasizes ease of use and flexibility in laboratory environments. Its compact size and light weight make it easily portable, suitable for both benchtop and cold-room operations within a temperature range of 4°C to 35°C. The system's touchscreen display offers an intuitive user interface, allowing researchers to quickly start purification processes using pre-defined methods or by creating custom methods tailored to their specific needs. For those seeking to extend the capabilities of the system, it seamlessly integrates with UNICORN Start software for advanced experiment design, real-time monitoring, and data analysis. The inclusion of USB support for data storage and the ability to view results in .bmp format without specialized software further underscores the system's user-centric design. With its robust technology, including UV detection and built-in diagnostics, the AKTA Start is a reliable tool for researchers looking to streamline their protein purification workflows, ensuring quick, reliable results with minimal setup time.\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cdiv class=\"included-box\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003cspan class=\"included-header\"\u003eINCLUDED:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe GE AKTA Start FPLC System includes:\n\t\t\u003cul\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003e\nFrac30 Fraction Collector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003e\nUV Lamp \u0026amp; Detector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003e\nConductivity Flow Cell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003e\nInstallation Calibration Report\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003e\nPower Cords and Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003e\nFull 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003ch2\u003eGE AKTA Start FPLC System Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\t\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\t\tPump Type\n\t\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\t\tPeristaltic pump.
