Protein purification system

Akta Go FPLC

AKTA go has been developed for automated chromatography from the heritage of our fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) technology. With flow rates of up to 25 mL/min and pressure of up to 5 MPa, you are all set for affinitysize exclusion, or ion exchange chromatography. For quick and easy selection of chromatography columns tailored for your needs, use our column packages for purification of antibodies (1-step protocol)antibodies (2-step protocol)his-tagged proteins, and untagged/native proteins.

NanoSight NS300 nanoparticle characterization

NanoSight NS300

The Malvern Panalytical NanoSight NS300 Instrument provides an easy-to-use, reproducible platform for nanoparticle characterization.

The NS300 allows rapid analysis of the size distribution and concentration of all types of nanoparticles from 0.01 - 1 µm* in diameter, depending on the instrument configuration and sample type.

It has a 488nm laser and the possibility to use a Green filter, so fluorescent labels can be analyzed. Sample temperature is fully programmable through the Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) software.

Seahorse Pro Analyzer

Seahorse XF Pro Analyzer

Agilent Seahorse XF Pro Analyzers measure the oxygen consumption (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR/PER) of live cells in a 96-well format. The XF Pro Analyzer features better OCR precision at low rates, verified instrument performance and repeatability specifications, optimized temperature control, and is automation enabled.

OCR and ECAR or PER are key indicators of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis as well as ATP production rate. Together, these measurements provide a systems-level view of cellular metabolic function in cultured cells and ex vivo samples.
