Excellent Reagent Grade water for Clinical Use
Application Area:Excellent Reagent Grade
"The Elix provides a large quantity of reagent grade water for our facility. Quality (Ohms) is high and the resistivity is low. The bacterial count is always negative/absent and the instrumentation does well keeping up with demand. Service is exceptional and rarely is there a need for onsite service other than routine PMs."

We would recommend this unit to anyone
Application Area:Microbiological testing in meat production
"We installed this system about a year ago to replace our old deionizer unit, and we are thrilled that we did. The system is very user friendly, and we have not had any issues with the machine. We've also had the customer service team come for preventative care, and they were very professional and helpful."

"This machine is very good at purifying our water. It is very fast in doing so which makes getting water very easy to do. Also it is very pure in that it is always good and no contaminates. The only downfall that this machine has is that the filters are very expensive to maintain. This though is expected to keep purification good."

The Elix Advantage system provides consistent, reliable pure water—saving you time and money.
Water produced by the Elix Advantage system meets or exceeds Type II water quality (corresponding to analytical-grade water) as defined by ASTM®, CLSI® and ISO® 3696/BS 3997. Elix Advantage System water also complies with the purified water requirements from the US, Japanese and European Pharmacopeias.
Combining Millipore’s patented Elix electrodeionization technology with the most advanced purification technologies, the Elix Advantage system uses potable tap water as feed to produce consistent, high quality pure water for all your lab’s needs. The system provides pressurized, bacteria-free pure water through the E-POD® (Elix Point-of-Delivery) units.
The compact water production unit is adapted to laboratory space constraints and can be installed on the wall or under a sink, saving valuable bench space. The exceptional ergonomic design of the E-POD allows for manual or volumetric dispensing of pure water to fill a variety of laboratory vessels (from a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask to a 20 L carboy).
The system is modular and easily adaptable to evolve with the changes in your lab. Up to three E-PODS can be added per system. There are several application-specific final filters, which can be added to the E-POD units for additional contaminant removal.
Elix® Advantage Laboratory Water Purification System Features:
- Pure water from potable tap water (up to 350 L/day depending on model).
- Easy to install all-in-one pretreatment pack, which efficiently removes contaminants from tap water.
- Advanced reverse osmosis, with a constant product flow rate and reject recovery loop to optimize water consumption.
- Millipore’s patented Elix module, which uses electricity (instead of harsh chemicals and water) to continuously regenerate the resins and remove ions from tap water.
- Best-in-class monitoring: the resistivity measurement is displayed by the Elix Advantage system, and the system’s self-maintenance functions for the reverse osmosis membrane and cleaning cycles ensure optimum water quality.
