We've been using Bio-Rad biologic duoflow FPLCs for over 5 years (we have 4 of them on site). They can also handle abuse and cold room storage. Their hardware and software are user-friendly. It seems the Profinia system is geared toward simpler purifications.

You really don't need much of a system to do just affinity purification, so almost anything would be workable unless you are doing really high throughput work. On the other hand, if you need to do traditional protein purification (IEX, HIC, GEC), which would include untagged proteins, and polis

Thanks for your response, Edward. Yes, that is what I thought. For the most part, people plan to tag their proteins in my lab. I'll possibly be the only one purifying non-tagged proteins in my lab. I love the AKTA. Another was all praise of the Profinia. To my knowledge, tagged proteins don't alway

Dear all, My lab is looking into buying a protein purification system. The AKTA is more versatile, but does anyone know if the Profinia is in any way superior to the AKTA for purification of affinity-tagged proteins? If it is, I would really appreciate if you can tell me in what way it is superior
