Quanta. Sep 1000 LX vs Akta Avant 150 and Akta Pilot Features Qsep 1000 LX Akta Avant 150 Akta Pilot 600 Comments/Options Bench top Yes Yes Quantasep has smaller footprint Flow-paths per system Two One Quantasep 1000 LX covers greater flow rate range than two independent Aktas combined (column sizes 5 ml to 10 L) Sanitary Design yes No Yes (partial) Akta Avant is not sanitary and will not work for c. GMP (uses threaded fittings) and rotary valves. Quantasep is sanitary, no threaded fittings, all diaphragm valves Sample injector yes No In Quantasep sample loops are standard Detectors UV, Cond, p. H, air, pressure All sensors standard. In Quantasep 1000 LX two UV wavelengths (280 and 260 nm)are standard rather than 3 for GE. Akta uses it to stop flow not like the Quantasep 1000 LX which removes air dynamically. Pumps 4 2 2 2 Pumps are standard. With Quantasep 1000 LX no pump priming is required. Buffer Selection 6 x 2 +6 x 2 6 x 2 for either system 4 x 2 and 4 x 2 Six buffer selection valves are standard on each pump in Quantasep Fraction Collection 10 standard outlets and Optional FC Yes for Akta Avant 150 No, only 6 outlets Quantasep 1000 LX fraction. Sepragen collector has. Corporation 10 standard outlets and FC with up to two trays can be provided as 17 an option. Triggered by Quantasep software
Quanta. Sep 1000 LX vs Akta Avant and Akta Pilot Hardware Qsep 1000 LX Akta Avant Akta Pilot Benefits Turndown Ratio of Pumps 100: 1 30: 1 Greater dynamic range Typical Flow Range for each pump 0 -100 ml/min and 101000 ml/min 10 -150 ml/min 20 -600 ml/min Akta Avant 150 cannot accurately do under 10 ml/min and Akta Avant 25 is needed. Akta pilot cannot do over 600 ml/min, Akta Process is needed. One Quantasep 1000 LX system can do under 10 ml/min to 1 pm i. e. smaller and bigger columns than either and both GE systems put together Gradient (at 50% FS) 5 -95% 10 -90% Quantasep 1000 LX has a 100: 1 turn down ratio so better gradients are possible at lower flowrates Online Buffer Dilution Yes Yes Better dilution accuracy System Dead (hold up) Volume 7 ml small flow path and 120 ml for large flow-path ~10 ml 500 ml Better chromatography, less dilution, better gradient, lower peak volume Footprint 22”x 27”x 46” 30”x 60”x 72” 30’x 60’x 72” Quantasep system has smaller footprint than either Akta Auto Air Ejection Electronic ( NO) Bubble trap (NO) Bubble trap Akta does not use auto bubble ejection; bubble trap difficult to clean, cannot use with gradient, causes dilution Leak Detection Yes No No Akta systems do not alarm or stop run in Sepragen Corporation event of leak. Especially dangerous with high 18 flow like Akta Pilot
Advantages of Quanta. Sep Software vs Akta Avant 150 and Akta Pilot 600 Software Features Quantasep 1000 LX GE Akta Avant GE Akta Pilot Benefits Point and Click Operation from Process Diagram Manual Operation Yes No No Easier usage, more intuitive interface; Less training time Auto programming of methods Yes Yes Buffer selection; Flow setting; step and fraction switch conditions based on time, volume, bed volume, UV slope, p. H, Cond, Air, pressure, time and UV 21 CFR Pt 11 compliance software with encrypted database, journal, secure multilevel access Yes Yes Quantasep has all standard features found on Akta Chromatogram and data analysis Yes, in real time Yes, post run only Quantasep marks peaks during run and provides peak AS, HETP, % Area, multiple sensor trends, run overlays for comparison, zoom, pan, configurable y axis for all sensor ranges and x axis for time, volume etc. ; gradient plots Auto Pause, manual intervention; zero UV base line, begin run marker, sample injector bypass Yes Yes Quantasep software is capable of all such tasks that Akta can do Gradients, manual and auto Yes Sepragen Corporation Yes Quantasep has Up to 10 step or linear segments
