It’s much better to refer to your machinery by its first name – they work better that way. My AKTA machines always had Teutonic names: Helga, Brunhilde, Gertrude, just to name the last three.

Pedant's corner:

 

The systems are actually called ÄKTA (loosely "the real thing" in Swedish") and not AKTA ("watch out!", "beware!"), although given the feelings expressed about the price, the latter may not be such a misnomer ;-)

 

Phew, I got there before Gerard!

Dear all,

I need to decide between buying an AKTA prime and an AKTA FPLC from GE health care. I understand AKTA prime is a low-pressure system, but because it is too much cheaper than AKTA FPLC, it is still very attractive to me.

I will mainly use it for Nickel columns and gel filtration columns, and I am worried about the latter. Is it true that using AKTA prime, you can only run the 24 ml Superdex 200 column at 0.1 or 0.2 ml/min?

Could anyone who has used AKTA prime give me some feedbacks? I would appreciate it.

Best,
Frank
