Description
The GE AKTA CU-950 is the core control interface unit of the AKTA series of liquid chromatography/rapid protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) systems. It connects AKTA systems (such as AKTA explorer, AKTA purifier, AKTA FPLC, AKTA pilot, etc.) to the control software (UNICORN) for system monitoring and control. The CU-950 control box can connect to a computer via USB or communicate with a control terminal via Ethernet. It features multiple indicator lights to display system status, providing users with a clear overview of the system's status.
In terms of electrical and mechanical parameters, the CU-950 is typically equipped with an internal DC power supply (usually converted from AC 100-240 V by the included power adapter). The control box measures approximately 8 x 18.6 x 26.1 cm and weighs approximately 1.1 kg (excluding the power adapter). The CU-950 provides multiple communication ports, including an RS-485 full-duplex communication interface, for connecting various system components.
The CU-950, in conjunction with UNICORN software, serves as the core control bridge for the operation of AKTA system components such as agitators, pumps, and detectors, supporting system status feedback and parameter settings.
