The accuracy of your protein purification processes depends on the reliability of your equipment. In Switzerland, a global hub for biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, the demand for compliance and service continuity is absolute. This is where BPM TechCare steps in as your preferred partner for the maintenance and troubleshooting of your ÄKTA™ systems.

Why is preventive maintenance of your ÄKTA systems so important?

Liquid chromatography systems (FPLC), such as the ÄKTA™ pure, ÄKTA™ avant, or the classic ÄKTA™ explorer/purifier models, are the cornerstones of your laboratory. Neglecting their maintenance can lead to:

  • Costly downtime: A breakdown in the middle of the purification process can ruin weeks of work.
  • Biased results: Wear on pump seals or clogging of valves affects reproducibility.
  • Premature wear: Regular replacement of wear parts extends the service life of your investment.
