About the Webinar
Date and Time: October 9, 2025, 8:07 AM (PT)| 11:07 AM (ET)| 5:07 PM (CET)
Speaker: Karthik Rajasekar, PhD, Team Leader, Protein Biochemistry
Accelerating protein production with high reproducibility is a key challenge in drug discovery and development. In this webinar, Karthik Rajasekar from Evotec department of Protein Sciences will showcase how the ÄKTA™ chromatography system from Cytiva enables automated multi-step purifications, reducing errors and saving time. The session will also highlight the use of autosamplers to automate high-throughput runs for protein quality assessment. Participants will gain practical insights to assess their current manual workflows and learn how automation with ÄKTA instruments can drive greater efficiency and reproducibility in protein purification.
