Hi Alan, I think new AKTA collector can be refrigerated. If this is not an option, consider putting only collector in the cold cabinet and cooling down the buffers. Also, you can put only columns and fraction collector inside cabinet which has side port for such use. Although you will have to use small diameter out tubing to avoid sample dilution when use like this. System live will be shorter inside cold cabinet due to increased humidity.

If in doubt, please forward suspicious emails to phish...@usask.ca hi alan, why do you want to put the thing in a cold cabinet? if you have protease problems, there are better ways to get rid of them than exploiting Q10. on the other hand, you'll increase viscosity and thus slow down the flow rates. also, the high humidity will reduce the lifetime of your Äkta dramatically (ours has been running almost continuously for 20 years at room temperature and is still going strong [thanks to tina!]). if you really to need to keep the sample at 4 °C, you can put the buffer(s) on ice and cool the column with a jacket. best jon Von: CCP4 bulletin board <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Im Auftrag von Paula Salgado Gesendet: Sonntag, 21.

We only have one AKTA Pure there, with a fraction collector and the rest of the cabinet holds all the columns. Hope that helps Paula =================================== Dr Paula S.

Take care when opening links or attachments. Do not provide your login details. Dear All Apologies for being wildly off topic, but we're trying to find a decent cold cabinet for 2x AKTA Pure + F9C + sample pump. Does anyone have any recommendations, especially for sliding door models?
