Millipore has launched the Elix Advantage water purification system that provides high quality pure water from tap.
The system utilises Millipore's Elix electrodeionisation technology and has been designed with a 'green' philosophy in mind.
The Elix Advantage system is modular and easily adaptable and can be bench-integrated or wall-installed.
The design of the system's water dispenser - the E-pod - allows convenient placement in the laboratory for efficient, pressurised pure water dispensing.
Up to three E-pod units per system can be connected for manual and volumetric dispensing at flow rates of up to 2 litres/minute.
All necessary information for daily use, such as water quality and system status, is visible on the unit's graphic display.
A range of point-of-use filters exists to adapt the E-pod units for use with specific applications.
The system combines Millipore's Elix electrodeionisation technology with purification technologies, including a Progard pretreatment cartridge, advanced reverse osmosis and a 254nm UV lamp.
The Elix Advantage system is designed to meet or exceed requirements as described by ISO 3696 (Grade 2 water); ASTM D1193 (Type II resistivity and TOC Table I specifications); and by the US, European and Japanese Pharmacopoeias for Purified Water.
The Elix Advantage system is manufactured in a facility certified to ISO 14001, a voluntary environmental standard.
In addition, system users will benefit from low maintenance and well-controlled running costs, thanks to the environmentally friendly Elix technology.
A pure water recirculation loop in the system decreases the volume of potable water required for pure water production.
