New purification system launch for Millipore
US-based life science corporation Millipore has introduced a new water purifying system that combines the company’s Elix and Milli-Q technologies to produce pressurised pure and ultrapure water.
The new Milli-Q Integral water purification system uses tap water to supply constant-quality pure and ultrapure water from a single water production unit. Users benefit from low maintenance and well-controlled running costs, thanks to Elix technology and its ion-exchange resins, which are continuously regenerated by a weak electric current, says Millipore, which is based in Billerica, Massachusetts.
The new system can cater to needs ranging from 60 to 300 L/day. Separate Points-of-Delivery (PODs), dedicated either to ultrapure water (Q-POD) or pure water (E-POD), ensure convenient delivery at a flow rate adjustable from drop-by-drop to 2 L/min.
PODs can be adapted with a choice of final polishers to remove specific contaminants, including pyrogens, nucleases, bacteria, particulates and organics.
And POD dispensers offer users full convenience on a daily basis. The dispensers accommodate a complete range of laboratory glassware and provide automatic or manual dispensing options. Information concerning system operation and water quality (ionic and organic contaminant level) is displayed graphically on their bases as well as on the production unit, where it can be seen at a glance and printed out, if necessary.
The Milli-Q system and Q-POD and E-POD water delivery units have a small footprint and can be installed on or under the bench or high on a wall. Up to three POD units, placed at different locations in the laboratory, can be supported by each system.
