It's not difficult to replace parts of AKTAprime. But the pump may not be available anymore. It should be cheaper to get a new AKTAprime plus than getting a service contract for AKTAprime. AKTAprime plus costs just a little bit over $10,000 for a new one and lasts at least 5 years without a service call. GE probably will support AKTAprime plus for a few more years. --Chun

Does anyone know of a third party company that gives contracts to maintain these instruments? Thank you. Mike Colaneri
