Product description

GE Healthcare ÄKTA start protein purification system with Frac30 fraction collector, PC and Unicorn software for automated chromatography.

The GE Healthcare ÄKTA start protein purification system is a compact chromatography system for laboratory-scale protein purification. It supports affinity chromatography, ion exchange, desalting and other preparative chromatography applications.

This unit includes a Frac30 fraction collector, a PC and Unicorn control software. The Frac30 adds automated fraction collection, while the PC and software provide an alternative to integrated touchscreen control.

The unit is used and was manufactured in March 2020.

System and application

The GE Healthcare ÄKTA start is a laboratory-scale protein purification system for preparative chromatography. It supports affinity chromatography, ion exchange, desalting and other protein purification methods used in molecular biology and bioprocessing laboratories.

Configuration

  • Frac30 fraction collector
  • PC with Unicorn control software
  • Integrated touchscreen control
  • UV detection at 280 nm
  • Conductivity measurement from 0 to 300 mS/cm
  • Automated gradient formation from 0.5 to 5 ml/min
  • Fraction collection for up to 30 fractions
  • Fraction volumes from 0.5 to 15 ml
  • Suitable tube sizes of 1.5 or 2 ml, 5 ml, 12 ml and 15 ml

Operating specifications

  • Flow rate from 0.5 to 5 ml/min
  • Wash flow rate up to 10 ml/min
  • Operating pressure up to 5 bar or 0.5 MPa
  • Electrical requirements of 100 to 240 V and 50/60 Hz

The used unit and Frac30 fraction collector were manufactured in March 2020.

What these specifications mean

The 280 nm UV detector monitors protein-containing eluate during purification. Conductivity measurement tracks ionic conditions across a separation, with a stated range of 0 to 300 mS/cm.

The Frac30 collects separated fractions into tubes ranging from 1.5 or 2 ml to 15 ml. Its capacity of up to 30 fractions supports collection across automated preparative chromatography runs.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
