Specifications

Description

The GE AKTA CU-950 Control unit is used as the controlling interface between a UNICORN workstation and the components of an AKTA system. The CU-950 unit consists of a back panel with connectors and three indicator lamps on the front. The unit is connected to UNICORN software through both the USB port and Ethernet interface. The CU-950 control box is for use with AKTAexplorer, AKTApurifier, AKTAFPLC, and AKTApilot systems. CU-950 unit consists of a rear panel with connectors and three indicators (LEDs) on the front. The unit is supplied with a small power converter and EU and US mains cables.

Features

Designed for use with AKTAexplorer, AKTApurifier, AKTAFPLC, and AKTApilot systems.

Facilitates easy connection to various components.

Three indicator lamps provide visual status updates and alerts on the front panel.

Designed for convenient single-system control from a laptop, ideal for individual or smaller-scale operations.

Designed to streamline the operation and monitoring of AKTA systems via UNICORN compatibility.

Hardware Integrity check

CU-950 have a hardware integrity check that is performed at power-up of the unit. Three LED’s in the front panel of the CU-950 display the status of:

1. The power to the CU-950

2. The connected PC

3. The connected system

Core Functions and Operating Principles

This device is a real-time processing unit responsible for executing methods created in the UNICORN software and managing manual system interactions.

Communication Bridge: It translates instructions from the computer into hardware actions and monitors various parameters during the chromatography process in real time.

Status Indicators: The front panel features three LED indicators that display the real-time status of Power, PC Connection, and System Communication.

Compatibility: Widely compatible with ÄKTAexplorer, ÄKTApurifier, ÄKTAFPLC, and ÄKTApilot systems, but generally not used with ÄKTAprime or ÄKTAxpress.

Application

Biopharmaceutical Plants: Used for process control in the separation and purification of biomolecules such as proteins, antibodies, and vaccines.

Biotech Labs: Used in the drug development stage for automated liquid chromatography (FPLC) experiments, ensuring the reproducibility of purification processes.

Research Institutions and Testing Organizations: Used for the analysis and preparation of biomolecules and for optimizing automated laboratory processes.

Pilot Plants: Used in conjunction with systems such as ÄKTApilot for precise flow and pressure monitoring during the scale-up of production processes.
