Used Frac-950?

Hi everyone,

all our Aekta fraction collectors seem to be breaking down... I wish I could buy a bunch of new machines, but the reality is different. So does anybody have a spare Frac-950 for sale?

I already looked around at the companies selling second hand lab equipment, and in the States it is easy to find a lot of Frac-950 for sale, but not in Europe. It is just not worth it to buy a new Frac-950 if anyhow the support for the old generation Aektas will stop.

Thanks!

Annabel

incredible!! it is a real problem. All my AKTAs are with the same fraction collector. Nothing to sell you, sorry.

Is just disgusting that GE stops to support AKTAs. I have three Explorers from 1997, and are still active...what will happen if they stop supporting us?? it is a shame!!!!

By the way, they are stopping to produce Superose 12 too

Hi Annabel,

Sorry-anything from the Äktas in the institute is hoarded for spares or the productionof `Äktastein' monsters! They are supporting FPLC, purifier etc.until the end of 2019 aren't they? But 3 years support for a new 950 would be pretty useless.

Did you see the  last reply to your post on the 'Pure'? Sounds like an interesting option for basic 1D machines.

Hi. If you're still looking for a frac 950, I have one which I can sell.
