Our AKTA FPLC has been trouble-free for 9 years, and we bought one of
the early models. It has lived in a cold room, withstood periods of
heavy use, periods of inactivity, and ham-handed undergraduates without
incident. I think we have replaced only the injector channels and the
solvent filters in those 9 years. These instruments are built like
tanks, and at a small institution like ours, time is more important than
money.

Hi,
I believe this subject has been touched briefly before, but does
anyone have any strong feelings before or against using an Akta
FPLC/purifier versus a Biorad Duo Flow? The Biorad Duo instruments
are significantly cheaper; are they however also 'as good' as GE
Healthcare? I'm especially interested in comments from people who have
used both instruments before.
Cheers
Filip
