I found an old ÄKTA system at my new lab and want to use it, but there is no PC connected. To use it I'd like to spend no money. Is there any freeware to get it going?
There is no alternative to the Unicorn software to run Akta systems that I am aware of. If you find what specific Unicorn version is compatible with your exact Akta system you may be able to track down the old disks from a lab not currently using them. These disks usually go for $200-1000 USD once equipment dealers get them. Good luck!
