Compact system for automated protein purification with real-time monitoring.
ÄKTA start is a compact, single-step purification system designed for the efficient and reliable purification of proteins. This modern, user-friendly system automates the protein purification workflow, offering features such as automated sample injection, fraction collection, and real-time monitoring. Method templates support common chromatography techniques, including Affinity Chromatography, Ion Exchange Chromatography, Gel Filtration, and De-salting. Quick start methods facilitate the purification of various common proteins, while predefined system methods clean the flow path. Operated via a touch screen on the instrument, the ÄKTA start system can also be controlled from a computer using the UNICORN start software. It includes a dedicated Fraction collector, Frac30, which accommodates fractions in four different tube sizes.
Specifications:
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
