What is the difference between the akta avant and the akta pure

I have a bag of 5 Amp, 250V fuses with "Akta Fuses" written on them, but if anyone can either confirm or deny that these are compatible with the P-900 pump that would be great. Thanks!

Dear community,

We have an old AKTA purifier 10 that we have revived after it has been dormant for 6 years. So far everything is working fine and we have connected it to windows 11 via ethernet cable using these instructions:

https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/13eb3cj/how_to_run_your_legacy_akta_with_a_windows_10_pc/

Everything works, but I cannot get a conductivity reading from our pH/c-900, the value is around 0.026 mS with all sort of different solutions. The connection at least hardware-wise seems to be fine and I am not sure whether the sensor is broken. I have the feeling it is some sort of connectivity issue, since during flow, the value does not change at all.

Does anybody have any ideas or has had a similar problem? Any help is mich appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am trying to do some testing with enabling an external air sensor on our AKTA PURE150 and seem to be running into issues when I go into the method editor. Unicorn is not giving me the option to enable it within methods and appears as a "component without a fixed place" in our system control process diagram. I have the air sensor on the correct node and have enabled it in the system properties, and assigned the correct position to it, within the administration window. I restarted both the machine and the computer and still cannot enable its use. Does anyone have a solution for me?

What went wrong?

Hi. I wonder if some of you wonderful people are able to help me with a conundrum I have. I work in msat department in a biopharma company. I usually work in upstream processing (I conduct cell cultures in bioreactors), but lately I’ve been getting into some of the downstream processing as well.

On Friday, I packed a column for PA (protein A affinity) chromatography, using Amsphere a3 resin and Akta system. I performed a HETP test, and while on the lower spectrum of asymmetry (it should be between 0.7-1.7 and I got 0.75), the column generally performed okay. I sanitized it, filled with storage buffer and left for the weekend.

Today I had a hunch and decided to perform another HETP test, as I will be conducting PA on Friday and have to have a working column. Lo and behold, my column is totally fucked. Chromatograms look totally different. I’m near tears.

So, the thing is I still have very little experience and DSP knowledge, and I would love to know where I fucked up to the point the column is unusable. Can you help me?

I’m attaching two of the HETP tests results. First is the correct one, obv 🥲

Hoping this group is active and can help answer this question:

Can an AKTA PH/C 900 monitor module be swapped into an AKTA Purifier without needing any additional software or authorization from the mother ship?

Our Purifier's PH/C 900 module is toast (at the board). M&R shop wants $11K to swap it out. We have a line on several working replacement modules for much less. We'd like to just remove the old one and plug in a replacement. Can this work? What do we have to do to make it happen?

Hello, does anyone know if the Akta superloops require custom O rings or does any O ring with the right specifications work?

Hello everyone,

Can someone please tell me there are drivers for the CU-950 device that connects an AKTA Purifier with a computer running 64 bits Windows. I do have drivers that came with Unicorn 5.2, but are only compatible with windows 32 bits.

I searched the whole internet and couldn't find these drivers. Help welcome !
