Water is the most commonly used solvent in laboratories and constitutes often more than 99% of the mass of solutions used in experimentations. The quality of water used in the lab is therefore critical for the success of the tests performed.
Type 1 (Ultrapure) Milli-Q
Several EMD Millipore water systems are designed to produce ultrapure (Type 1) water. Some can operate directly from tap (potable) water and others from pure water (Elix, RiOs, distilled or DI water).
The selection of the proper ultrapure water system for your laboratory will depend on several parameters such as: feed water available in the laboratory, instant and daily volumes needs of ultrapure water or ultrapure and pure water, the quality of monitoring of water quality and the level of certification required and several other points.
Ultrapure water directly from tap water feed
For laboratories that do not have a reliable source of pure water, EMD Millipore offers compact water systems producing pure and ultrapure water directly from tap water.
This concept offers several benefits:
- It allows installation of a complete water system in minimum amount of space in any lab with tap water feed
- It eliminates the need for central water purification systems and the associated water delivery loops which may be complex, expensive, difficult to maintain and to extend
- It gives the users of the water system complete control over all water purification steps and the final water quality.
Type 2 (Pure) Elix
The production of pure water is indispensable in any laboratory. However, for most users, the production of pure water also involves high costs and extensive maintenance due to inefficient or outdated water purification systems. Furthermore, most water purification systems cannot guarantee the production of consistently-pure water quality.
Several EMD Millipore water systems are designed to produce pure water
(Type 2) combining several purification technologies suitable for applications like buffer preparation; pH solution preparation and microbiological media preparation and feed to:
Ultrapure (Type 1) Milli-Q water systems
- Clinical analyzers
- Weatherometers
- Washing machines
- all SST autoclaves
The selection of the right pure water system for your laboratory will depend on several parameters such as: instant and daily volumes needs of pure water, the quality of monitoring of water quality and the level of certification required and several other points.
Type 3 (RO) RiOs
Several EMD Millipore water systems are designed to produce pure water (Type 3) combining several purification technologies suitable for applications that feed to:
- washing machines for final rinsing of glassware
- heating baths
- autoclaves, etc.
The selection of the right pure water system for your laboratory will depend on several parameters such as: instant and daily volumes needs of pure water, the quality of monitoring of water quality and the level of certification required and several other points.
