Following the success of AKB’s DAC ERGO™, a liquid chromatography column, the company has continued advancing column technology with the THESYS™ ACS ERGO. The THESYS ACS ERGO is designed for oligonucleotide synthesis and includes an operator-friendly design to facilitate a smooth and safe changeover between runs. It provides the same reliable high-performance as AKB’s other synthesis columns but is uniquely engineered to reduce inefficiencies between batches – with upwards of an hour of time savings as well as projected labor reduction.
The time-saving features of the THESYS™ ACS ERGO are achieved by eliminating the use of threaded bolts in the changeover and maintenance process, which can be tedious and time-consuming to remove between runs. AKB has ergonomically designed the THESYS™ ACS ERGO for faster changeover without cost to safety, which improves customer efficiency while maintaining operator safety and product reliability.
“Our new, bolt-free design is unique to the column market and makes unpacking and cleaning far less time-consuming,” said
THESYS™ ACS includes an innovative I-bar format that makes removing the top of the column more efficient and a unique frame with an integrated gearbox and wheel to facilitate smooth, safe unpacking and cleaning. Furthermore, the column has a minimized footprint to seamlessly integrate into the manufacturing floor.
In addition to its booth at the event, AKB will host a ‘Spotlight Presentation’ on
Attendees are invited to visit AKB at Booth 213 to explore new products, witness live demos, and learn more about how AKB’s innovations make manufacturing therapeutics easier.
