The AKTA Purifier 10 is a flexible modular fast protein liquid chromatography system. AKTA Chromatography systems have been staple in protein purification for the past two decades and used throughout the globe.  The AKTA Purifier 10 operates at flow rates of 0.001 to 10 ml/min, with pressures ranging from 0 to 25 mpa. This set up creates a lower flow rate but at a higher pressure required for running high resolution analyses. System configurations can be designed to meet the labs needs with fast reliable separations of proteins, peptides and nucleic acids by FPLC.
