UNICORN system control software provides built-in knowledge for planning, controlling, and analyzing your protein purification runs as well as your cell culture and preparation.
With a uniform and intuitive interface you can handle simple as well as highly complex tasks ranging from controlling a single ÄKTA chromatography system or ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 rocking bioreactor system to operating a regulated manufacturing facility.
GE Healthcare is focused on delivering additional benefits in each new release of UNICORN software to:
UNICORN 7 retains the advantages of previous versions, with the added benefit of quick and easy evaluation of your results.
UNICORN supports you in making headway in research. It is for researchers studying proteins and who are striving to find the right balance between time spent on protein purification and achieving the right level of purity. UNICORN is a flexible, yet simple protein purification software that addresses each researcher’s unique needs and provides confidence.
UNICORN is an efficient solution for process development. Use the design of experiment (DoE) feature for deeper understanding using a minimum number of experiments. Once you have found the optimal process for your protein of interest, transfer to manufacturing for scale-up.
If you work in a multi-user environment with many systems, networking systems allows you to share data and collaborate between users and systems in an efficient and controlled manner. True remote operation means that you can monitor and control your runs away from the lab.
In the manufacturing environment, UNICORN is a single familiar interface for chromatography, cell culture, and membrane separations. UNICORN is technically compatible with all relevant sections of FDA 21 CFR Part 11. UNICORN supports efficient control of processes, quick data evaluation, and custom reporting functionalities.
To access the latest versions of instrument-specific software and the column library file, please refer to the Related Documents tab in the product page of the respective system.
UNICORN 7.0 is the latest software with easy to use evaluation optimized for your needs. It can be used with ÄKTA pure, ÄKTA avant, ÄKTAexplorer, ÄKTApurifier, ÄKTApilot, ÄKTAprocess, UniFlux, and ReadyToProcess WAVE 25.
With UNICORN start control software you don’t have to go far to see the benefits – you can run ÄKTA start in a cold cabinet and monitor the run from the warmth of the lab.
Legacy UNICORN versions for classic systems. These are supported but no longer actively developed.
Legacy software for ÄKTAprime and ÄKTAprime plus systems. This is supported but not actively developed.
