Abstract

The installation of the AKTA-Go chromatography system at the Institute of Biology - UNICAMP will provide a significant boost to the capacity for high-precision and reproducible protein purification, not only within the research groups of the host institution, but also for external groups from public and private institutions in the state of São Paulo. The AKTA-Go system, developed by Cytiva, is a versatile, compact and easy-to-use chromatography system. Its modular design allows users to easily switch between different chromatography techniques, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and affinity chromatography. This flexibility will enable research groups to explore new purification strategies and optimize their protocols for higher yields and purity levels, bringing efficiency and agility to the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and life sciences. Ultimately, the AKTA-Go system will provide an important foundation for research in the state of São Paulo to continue to reach international excellence and reflect in positive impacts on our society.
