CLSI clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW type) can degrade quickly when standing in tubing and reservoirs during downtime, increasing bacterial counts and releasing ALP.
This can interfere with some biochemical assays, resulting in inconsistent blanks and/or the need for more frequent decontamination and calibration.
When attached to any Millipore AFS or Elix Clinical water purification system as a final purification step, the Millipore BioPak C filter will deliver ALP-free water with bacteria levels lower than 10cfu/ml (typically <1cfu/ml).
The BioPak C cartridge is delivered decontaminated by beta irradiation at 15kGy and can be stored for two years before usage.
The filter allows flow rates up to 3l/min at 1.5bar and ensures up to 120 days of continuous operation.
The BioPak C cartridge can be installed easily on most immunoassay and clinical chemistry analysers on the market today, providing improved laboratory efficiency and performance with lower overall running costs.
Millipore delivers a broad and innovative range of systems for clinical and immunochemistry instruments that improve laboratory productivity and ensure accurate daily results.
Its clinical products benefit users in hospitals, physicians' offices, reference and forensic labs, as well as diagnostic manufacturers. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
