According to the NCCLS/CLSI (Clinical and Laboratories Standards Institute) guidelines, several purification technologies should be combined to eliminate various contaminants.
The Elix Clinical system's design combines prefiltration, softening, reverse osmosis (RO), electrodeionisation (EDI), polishing and micro-filtration in one package.
By providing Type II and Type I water in a single unit, users now can feed analysers reliably with pure water, says Millipore.
Elix Clinical systems produce water at flow rates of 35 and 70l/hr.
Additionally, the patented Elix process constantly deionises water and self-regenerates.
Therefore, customers benefit from a significant operating cost savings and less intensive maintenance.
Compared with conventional RO-DI solutions, this reduces the change of polishing cartridges five-fold, says Millipore.
Within the busy clinical laboratory, if the supply of purified water fails, then analyses stop and samples cannot be processed.
It is clear this must be avoided.
With this in mind, Millipore designed its Total Pure Water Solution with support as a key element.
Responsive and efficient service support is critical.
Millipore's team of service experts keep water purification systems running at peak performance.
Regular service, provided by one of its professional service support engineers, ensures the system operates within specification, and is the best way to increase the reliability of a system, it says. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
