Purification cartridges are
application-specific
Each model in water purification range is designed to produce ultrapure water to match specific applications, and for each selection of purification cartridges isavailable
Each model in the Milli-Q water purification system range is designed to produce ultrapure water to match specific applications: general laboratory analyses, chromatography, molecular biology, life sciences or trace element analysis For each of these systems a selection of purification cartridges is available, tailored to the pretreated feedwater source or to the specific application to produce the required quality of ultrapure water

Purified laboratory water supplied at point of use
Designed as a one-source system for pure and ultrapure water, the Milli-Q Integral system provides laboratories with an innovative alternative to centralised 'loop' configurations
One source for pure and ultrapure laboratory water
Millipore's new Milli-Q Integral water purification system uses tap water to supply constant-quality Type II (pure) and Type I (ultrapure) water from a single water production unit
Q-Gard pretreatment packs are matched to the pretreated feedwater source: Q-Gard 1 is suited to Elix (RO-EDI), RiOs (RO) or distilled feedwater and Q-Gard 2, with additional activated carbon for organic adsorption and a filter for particulate removal is suited to DI feed.
There is also a selection of Quantum polishing cartridges, tailored to particular application needs.
The Quantum IX cartridge is designed to specifically target ionic contaminants, the Quantum EX cartridge to reduce ionic and organic contaminants down to trace levels or the Quantum VX cartridge removes volatile organics.
Additionally the Milli-Q Gradient and Synthesis systems contain a built-in dual-wavelength UV lamp to further reduce organic contaminants to <5ppb and the Milli-Q Biocel and Synthesis systems contain a 5000 Da NMWL cut-off ultrafilter for the removal of endotoxins and nucleases.
Final purification is carried out by a 0.22um Millipak membrane filter to remove any remaining particles and bacteria. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
