The unique features and benefits of this new water purification strategy include: minimising the risk of purified water recontamination after the most critical purification step, adapting the water quality quickly and easily by simply exchanging the consumable, and dispensing several ultrapure water qualities tailored to very specific applications from one system the pod packs are customized to meet the user's needs.
Typically, the validated BioPak ultrafiltration cartridge is used for pyrogen- or nuclease-sensitive applications.
The Millipak filter is used for regular laboratory and chromatography applications.
Up to three Q-Pod dispensers can be used per system at different locations within 3m of the Milli-Q production unit.
Flow rates vary from low flow to 2l/min.
Users can dispense the water manually or set a pre-defined volume.
The Q-Pod unit eliminates the need to attach tubing at the outlet of the end of the filter, which compromises water quality.
Additionally, each unit has a graphical user interface comprised of numeric values and symbols that can be used in all geographies.
A printer can be connected to the side of the Q-Pod unit for recording purposes.
