ÄKTA Pilot 600s Liquid Chromatography System

ÄKTA Pilot 600s liquid chromatography system is designed to purify proteins or other bio-molecules employing various gel-filtration, ion-exchange, affinity chromatography, etc. The system is equipped with two system pumps and one sample pump to support scale-up protein purification procedures. ÄKTA pilot 600s supports column sizes from 26 to 200 mm inner diameter. Currently, facility has sanitizable chromatography columns BPG 100/500 and BPG 140/500. The system has hold-up volume of 38 ml and is suitable for production scale work, where high flow rate (up to 1200 ml/min), high amount of buffer as well as large volume of the sample (more than 100 ml) is required. The system has several air and pressure sensors to enhance operational security. The UV, conductivity, and pH sensors also enable users to monitor and control the purification procedure. The system is operated and controlled by UNICORN software with user-defined parameters/programs.
