GE Healthcare AKTA Avant 150

The AKTA Avant 150 is a preparative chromatography system designed for fast and secure development of scalable methods and processes.

Unit features short runtimes, which are important manufacturing; high flow rates and is suited for use with high-flow BioProcess chromatography resins from the MabSelect and Capto range.

AKTA is the preferred choice for many laboratories conducting process development.

Applications supported: Affinity Chromatography, Gel Filtration/ Size Exclusion Chromatography, Ion Exchange Chromatography and Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography.
