What is Akta Explorer
One of the first high-end fast protein liquid Chromatography systems developed was the AKTA explorer. This system was developed to assist in life science research. Fast protein liquid chromatography was founded by a Swedish pharmaceutical company back in 1994. The purpose of the system for being developed was to automate and simplify the entire process of protein purification. There are currently other devices on the market that can perform protein purification. The difference between the other products and the AKTA explorer product is that the Akta product was specifically designed for the protein purification process starting with the software all the way to the hardware.
How Akta Increases Protein Production
Their specific laboratories are known as protein production facilities. These protein production facilities are used specifically to produce many different types of proteins for many different purposes. The methodologies that proteins are usually produced for are NMR, ITC, and crystallography. Protein production is not just a booming field but the scientist and workers in his field are under extreme pressure when it comes to delivering results. This pressure has been somewhat effective because scientists continue to develop many different methods to increase protein development capacity. The Akta technology is used in laboratories for the following: the automation of parallel and multidimensional chromatography, innovative molecular biology, small-scale expression screening strategies, and expression vectors.
When recombinant protein expression is being performed inside of laboratories the bacteria that is used is usually Escherichia coli. The reason why Escherichia coli is the most frequently used bacteria is that it is the most convenient method and the most cost-effective method. Escherichia coli Is also highly used in laboratory programs where recombinant proteins are utilized on a repetitive basis and for biophysical methods. There have been improvements made to all of the conventional methods of recombinant proteins. The improvements made to the plasmid expression vectors have allowed this process to function and perform better in the production of recombinant proteins. Implementing novel tags and solubilizing fusions have made it possible for proteins to mend faster and have efficient purification.
The best-streamlined expression screening process is a process that uses automatic or semi-automatic analysis for recombinant expression. The process also uses a second testing method that utilizes recombinant expression analysis. These two specific tests have increased the success of streamlined expression screaming and it has allowed for laboratories that have modest resources to be successful when it comes to recombinant expression analysis.
The Benefits Of An Automated Protein Purification System
There are many different benefits that are associated with using automated protein purification systems. The first benefit of using automated protein purification systems is that it provides a more controlled environment. Having a more controlled environment helps to provide good reproducible results. The automated protein purification system also has the ability to purify the proteins with no action needed from the user. The automated protein purification system also allows the user to use high-resolution media and samples that are sensitive can be purified more efficiently. When it comes to decision-making in the protein purification process an automated protein purification system assists with this as well. The types of decisions that usually need to be made are when a column has become equilibrated and when to collect a fraction. The system also has the ability to automatically collect a purified protein in large or in small volumes. The automated protein purification system makes software that is easy for scientists and researchers to utilize during the protein purification process. This software makes it easy for scientists and researchers to evaluate results, monitor runs, and create different protein purification methods.
