About this chapter
This chapter describes how to transport and install ÄKTA ready.
ÄKTA ready is designed for ease-of-use. As a consequence, the system is easy to install
and setup for the first run. Most of the components are mounted on the system cabinet
or on the flow kit.
There are few loose parts that require assembling or mounting, and the physical connec-
tions are simple and straightforward. Installation should, however, always be performed
by experienced personnel authorized by GE Healthcare.
Apart from a suitable environment for the instrument, the prerequisites for installation
of ÄKTA ready include outlets for electrical power and compressed air, and access to a
computer. Some tools are required for unpacking the instrument, and test liquids must
be prepared.
