The GE AKTA Explorer chromatography systems, formally from Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, offer fast and reliable solutions for developing and optimizing any bio-molecular purification scheme. Chromatographic techniques at flow rates and pressures compatible with modern separation media are used to produce high-caliber solutions.
AKTA Explorer systems use one working platform for all techniques and sample loads from µg to g scale. Systems can be configured for use at flow rates of up to 100 ml/min (pressure 10 MPa) or 10 ml/min (pressure 25 MPa). Fine-tuning system settings ensure optimum running conditions for all modern high performance media. Pre-programmed method templates and optimized system configurations minimize preparation time by allowing rapid media screening, method scouting and optimization as well as scale up experiments. Dedicated method templates are supplied for the most common scouting procedures including automatic media screening and automatic eluent pH scouting for ion exchange chromatography.
UNICORN®, a control platform, handles all AKTA systems including the AKTA Explorer. The platform controls production systems at a kg scale. The UNICORN® platform ensures quick and simple communications as well as optimized methods for production scale processes. Obtaining fast results with the least possible steps is guaranteed with the unique combination of AKTA system configurations and UNICORN® control.
Easy, safe selection of columns optimally suited to the purification task.

AKTA Explorer systems include an extensive column library with details of run parameters for each pre-packed column. When the user selects a column, the AKTA Explorer instinctively sets the column volume, flow rate and pressure limit parameters into the method template. This automatic configuration protects the system from damaging events including over pressure. Previous experience and special knowledge become unnecessary in optimizing product features. The AKTA Explorer System is available in 2 variations, the AKTA Explorer 10 and the AKTA Explorer 100.

Amazing customer service from start to finish. They responded to my emails very promptly and even had a service tech come out to our lab within a day. We would definitely do business with them again! 
Tara Naman 15:35 21 Nov 18 Both as a Biomed and as an Independent Contractor I have been utilizingthe assistance of Gwen at GMI. She has the experience, knowledge, and skill level to provide great results to solve your instrumentation, parts, or software needs. GMI is the Gold Standard when it comes to customer service. Gwen brings a positive energy that is evident with every transaction that makes you realize how much she enjoys her role with GMI. 
SCOTT MANDLER 22:47 24 Nov 18 Great customer service, helpful staff and technical support. GMI provided detailed instructions and fair estimates for the equipment service which we required. Service was performed in a timely and seamless manner. 
Jerry Gene 11:13 08 Nov 18 Can't say enough about GMI and their customer support & sales staff. We've done countless transactions with them (new product purchases, selling our old equipment back) and always walk away happy. And their pricing is always sharp! Price and customer service aren't a trade-off here. 
Chris P 19:58 14 Nov 18 I worked with Gwen to sell a couple old pieces of equipment which were just taking up space and collecting dust in our lab. It was super easy to send her pictures, agree on a price, pack up the items and ship them back to GMI with a prepaid shipping label! I strongly recommend this as an option to cleaning out old equipment. It's much better than just scrapping it!!! 
Cris Brown 12:24 11 Oct 18 Needed to purchase a centrifuge rotor for a customer of mine. GMI is a company that I look at first as their inventory is excellent. They had what I was looking for and were able to be competitive with other vendors. All in all, I received the rotor promptly and packed securely. All the people I talked with during this process were helpful and friendly. A combination that can't be beat. The unexpected gift was a nice surprise! 
Greg Gadd 21:46 02 Jan 19 We recently ordered the Universal Image Hood from GMI Labs. We found the system to be the cheapest available option for our purpose. The technical staff came down and helped us with the setup. So far, the system has worked very well and we are extremely satisfied with our purchase.

Brant Bigger 16:41 08 Nov 19 GMI has delivered on time once again. Great selection of UV detectors, and great service too. Will no doubt purchase from again! Thanks again. 
James Bourque 13:42 11 Nov 19 Working with GMI provided me with a way to exchange equipment we no longer used for equipment that we needed. They are easy to work with, patient, and responsive to our inquiries. Great customer service 
EMGS mutations 21:15 11 Nov 19 I've worked with GMI a few times this year. I've both bought and sold equipment with them and they always make the process transparent, easy, and efficient. I've found that their pricing is highly competitive too. 
Katherine Barcay 21:52 04 Dec 19 GMI has great refurbished instruments that last for years. Their staff is very competent and friendly. I strongly recommend GMI to academics. Very competitive price and great quality. 
Nathalie Wall 16:26 11 Dec 19 From day one, I was impressed with GMI's energetic sales team and competent technical staff. They put forth the effort to understand our equipment needs, brand preferences, and budget constraints. Their commitment to service extended far beyond simply providing our lab equipment; we wanted a 'drop-in' solution to minimize laboratory down-time. GMI met our exacting challenge by coordinating delivery, placing equipment on the lab floor, and performing installation on the day that was specified. It was an impressive feat ... $200,000 of gear, two trucks, six movers, one service engineer all in-and-out within a day. The equipment arrived in great condition, was placed exactly where we wanted it, and was installed and verified for use. When we embarked on building a new lab, we were looking for a vendor, but also for a partner. We found one in GMI.
