Biotage® Selekt
Automated, high-performance chromatography system
Explore the main benefits of Biotage® Selekt
One system, broad capabilities
Versatile by choice
Biotage® Selekt is modular by design. Standard features include a QR column code scanner, rack handling, RFID, and network access. Optional upgrades like remote monitoring, liquid level sensors, and an evaporative light-scattering detector expand the system’s capabilities as your lab’s needs grow.
Simple by design
Capacity meets performance: from 5 g to 1.85 kg
Biotage® Selekt routinely handles Biotage® Sfär columns from 5 g to 340 g and can process up to 1.85 kg with an added safety valve. High loading capacity allows the use of smaller columns for faster separations and reduced solvent use.
