Hi all,
We had a bit of a disaster with our Äkta Explorer (NaOH leaking over some power cables). As a result, we believe our CU-950 controller box (the box that interfaces between a PC and the system) got exposed to high voltage and fried. Does anyone know of anywhere to source a second hand/refurbished CU-950, preferably in the UK or Europe?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Roger! Can I ask you how you solve this problem? We also had a quite similar problem with CU-950 controller. So, I am thinking to order it from GE and connect it with FPLC by ourselves....
In the end we tracked down the problem to the power supply for the CU-950 rather than the controller itself. Initially we thought it was the controller but it turned out the replacement power supply was also defective and once we got a further replacement (which was a cheap generic part) it all worked again.
So, I can't help directly with sourcing the CU-950 - I never found a supply of old units. Your best bet is probably to contact GE directly... the problem is I think they are discontinuing support for these older Aktas so it may become difficult to source parts...
Dear Roger Bradley Dodd , we also have a problem with CU-950 controller.
In our case it seems not to be a proper communication between the controller and the AKTA.
How was the symptom of fault of your controller, it didn´t work at all?
Thanks
