Water Purification Systems User-adapted ultrapure water

GIVING YOU THE ADVANTAGE As a scientist today, you face many challenges. You’re responsible for delivering high quality technical results–but now at an even faster pace. You also have to comply with a growing number of quality and regulatory standards, while working in a laboratory where space may be limited. Resulting from on-going dialogues with scientists like you, Merck Millipore continues to develop water systems that improve your work environment. The Milli-Q® Advantage system has been designed especially for you. This system delivers high quality water adapted to today’s lab environment....

Can you envision a laboratory environment where the ultrapure water source is flexible enough to support a variety of daily activities? A NEW APPROACH Advanced technology meets total flexibility. The Milli-Q® Advantage system simplifies your daily life in the lab by utilizing two distinct components: • The Milli-Q® production unit is a compact system that can be placed either on the bench, under the bench or on a wall–wherever it best suits you. • The Q-POD® (Quality-Point-of-Delivery) unit provides final polishing at the pointof-use, delivering ultrapure water adapted to your specific needs....

IMPROVING THE WAY… ...YOU PURIFY Appropriate water quality Depending on your application, specific contaminants can affect your results. The Milli-Q® Advantage system offers a unique range of final purifiers for complete peace of mind. ...YOU CONTROL Required information The Milli-Q® Advantage system provides relevant data about the water quality and system status. • The Q-POD® unit’s multicolor graphic display allows easy interaction with the system and provides information about water quantity and quality. • The primary graphic screen on the Milli-Q® production unit details the system’s operation...

DESIRED WATER QUALITY You just choose the appropriate media that remove the specific contaminants which may affect your results depending on the application. For example, the Millipak® filter with the Millipore Express® membrane (0.22 μm) produces particulateand bacteria-free ultrapure water for analytical applications such as spectrophotometry, spectroscopy and chromatography. The BioPak® ultrafilter, while removing particulates and bacteria, produces pyrogen- and nucleasefree ultrapure water for biochemical applications. practicality CONVENIENT DELIVERY Daily performance is facilitated by having...

ENHANCED FLEXIBILITY Your work is enhanced through convenient and adaptable dispensing. Adjust the Q-POD® unit arm (rotation and height) for all commonly-used laboratory glassware and plasticware. Set the optimized water quality before delivery by pressing the water recirculation button on the base of the Q-POD® unit. Select the desired volume by simply using the + and – keys and then pressing the central key. The last delivered volume is recorded to facilitate re-use. Move the Q-POD® dispenser from the arm for varying water delivery: • low-flow • medium-flow • high-flow (up to 2 l/min) 9

QUALITY OPTIMIZED PURIFICATION The most reliable ultrapure water quality depends on building an optimized purification sequence. REQUIRED PURIFICATION STEPS... You need a flexible system that can match the diversity of your applications. This is possible with a variety of purification media! • Pure water, ideally from an Elix® purification system, enters the Q-Gard® pretreatment pack (1) which is chosen based on the feed water source. • Pretreated water then passes into a dual wavelength UV lamp (2), which ensures organic molecule oxidation and bacteria destruction. • Next, the Quantum® polishing...

ALLOWING SENSITIVE IONIC DETECTION Milli-Q® Advantage systems’ high precision resistivity meters have specific features to ensure that the value displayed on the screen is meaningful: • Patented cell design with coaxial electrodes to warrant cell constant stability • Flow-through design to make sure that the measure is representative of the actual ionic concentration in water • Low cell constant (0.01 cm-1) to ensure optimum measurement accuracy of low ionic contamination as required by ASTM norm D 1125-95 (1999) • Temperature measurement with a 0.1 °C resolution for proper report of temperaturecompensated...

TOTAL CONTROL Double monitoring allows control over both ionic and organic contaminants that can impact your results. PREVENTING ORGANIC BREAKTHROUGH The proper measurement of TOC levels is key for confirming that the system’s organic removal process is operating within specifications. The integrated TOC meter accurately monitors from 1 to 999 ppb. The design takes into account USP <643> suitability requirements. TOC measurements are performed automatically on a continuous basis during production and intermittently during periods of non-use. This lets you check the organic content of the water...
