Milli-Q® Integral is a
unique combination of optimized water purification and monitoring technologies.
It allows, in a single device, both pure (Type 2) and ultrapure (Type 1) water
to be produced directly from potable water. This all-in-one concept offers
several benefits:
·
Provides users with complete control over all water
purification steps and the final water quality.
·
Allows installation of a comprehensive water purification
chain in a minimal amount of space.
·
Eliminates the constraints of centralized water stations and
their distribution loops (complexity, heavy maintenance, prolonged downtime,
contamination).
Milli-Q® water • Best-in-class
purity
To reach the most reliable
ultrapure water quality, Milli-Q® Integral is built on an optimized
purification sequence:
Elix® |
First, Elix® pure water is produced from tap and delivered through the
E-POD® (Elix®-Point-Of-Delivery) remote dispenser. To ensure a consistent
source of high quality pure water, the patented Elix® module (EDI
technology) is combined with Progard® complete pretreatment, intelligent
reverse osmosis and bactericidal UV lamp technologies. Depending on daily
volume needs, different production flow rates are available (3, 5, 10 & 15
L/h).
Storage |
Pure water is then stored in a polyethylene storage tank, which has been
designed to maintain consistent purity of stored water. The vent filter
provides effective protection against airborne contaminants and the ASM,
Automatic Sanitization Module, prevents biofilm formation. Water is then further
processed by the Milli-Q® Integral to produce ultrapure water or it can be
sent by a distribution pump to feed instruments such as a glassware washing
machine.
Milli-Q® |
To obtain Milli-Q water quality, purified water passes through a long-life dual
wavelength UV lamp, which ensures organic molecule degradation by
photooxidation. The Quantum® polishing cartridge then removes the
remaining ionic and organic contaminants below trace levels. Finally, the
ultrapure water recirculates through a loop to the Q-POD® (Quality-Point-Of-Delivery)
dispenser, where an Application-Pak removes specific contaminants critical for
experiments – Ultrapure water free
of particulates, bacteria, pyrogens, nucleases, proteases, VOCs, endocrine
disruptors and organics for LC.
Made only for Milli-Q® systems, Jetpore® virgin ion-exchange resin is
used in all Milli-Q® purification cartridges. Selected for its exceptional
performance, it can capture even the most weakly charged ions due to its
kinetic capabilities. Both the Progard® and Quantum® cartridges
incorporate RFID technology. This provides instant visibility on cartridge
parameters and also ensures a safe & optimal performance of your system,
giving you full traceability.
Q-POD® & E-POD® dispensers
• Advanced technology
The Q-POD® and E-POD® dispensers
simplify operation and display essential data in an easy-to-use and compact
device.
·
Facilitate your daily
lab work - The POD remote dispensers are always within reach.
Their convenient and adaptable handling enables both intuitive and precise
dispensing. The user can select either a specific volume with the autofill key
or manually press the plunger. Their multicolor graphic display allows easy
interaction with the system and provides information about water quantity and
quality.
·
Free up space on your
bench -
As only the POD is necessary for daily needs, the system can now be placed
where it is most convenient – under the bench, on the wall… Up to three PODs
can be used with each production unit at different locations within the same
laboratory.
·
Get the right water
quality for your experiments – Fitted to each
POD, an Application-Pak provides final polishing to match the water quality
according to your application’s exact needs. A range of POD-Paks is available
for you to select from.
