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
Water purification boosts clinical lab performance
The installation of Millipore's Elix 70 Clinical water purification system provides Laboratoire Thebault with the pure water it requires, at low operating and maintenance costs
The proliferation of bacterial species in pure water can create interferences because of bacterial ALP released.
Compared with standard clinical feedwater sources, the unique combination of the BioPak filter on an Elix Clinical system effectively removes ALP from purified water.
This ultrafiltration method stabilises baselines and reduces the frequency of calibrations.
For the clinical chemist, this increases efficiency and reduces downtime.
For the medical technologist, this decreases sanitisation costs that generate more stabilized assay results.
Additionally, other clinical products soon may include the BioPak filter for improved performance.
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.
The new Elix Clinical systems produce water at flow rates of 35 and 70 L/h.
The BioPak disposable ultrafiltration cartridge dispenses ultrapure water for up to three months without a loss of flow rate. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
