OEM Info
ÄKTA ready™ chromatography systems are automated chromatography systems that use single-use flow kits and intuitive software for purification steps in GMP manufacturing.
No cleaning and validation needed
Single-use flow path minimizes the need for cleaning validation, allowing for quick changeover between productions and reducing the risk of carryover. Fully disposable flow paths are quick to install and validate, improving productivity.
One platform takes you from bench to full-scale manufacturing
Scalable platform for purification of monoclonal antibody (mAb) processes in a GMP-compatible environment. The systems are also ideal for production of sensitive biologics such as viral vectors, nucleic acids, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADC’s).
Meet today’s purification demands
Each system has been designed with customer input for high performance and reliability. Pair the system with prepacked columns or membranes to handle demand from the upstream process and reduce batch turnaround time. Easily create and run methods with intuitive UNICORN™ software.
Closed-system operation
Flow kits can be ordered with ReadyMate™ connectors or AseptiQuik™ aseptic connectors to maintain a closed flow path.
Training and regulatory support
Keep your operators confident in operating the systems with our library of on-demand instruction videos and virtual training modules. Documentation, including extractables and leachables, for the flow kits, change control notifications and qualification services are available to meet regulatory demand.
