A dependable and user friendly system
Application Area:Water purification for Molecular Biology Research Lab
"Millipore products have always been very dependable and their customer service is reliable and fairly accommodating for our lab in Hawaii. Having worked with many of the products over 30+ years I can honestly say this latest generation of the Milli-Q systems is very user friendly for the anyone to obtain reliably ultra pure water for their research. Easy of care is excellent except for the always problematic issues of replacing the cartridges. But even that does not require any special tools. Millipore instruments have been one of the best small user water purification systems for our needs in Hawaii especially since there is a service tech in Hawaii."

Milli-Q water system can provide a confident for usage in preparation reagents
Application Area:Purifying water for HPLC/IC assay and/or reagents for testing
"Milli-Q water system provides on the spot good quality water supply, much better than the pricy water bottles. IC requires 18.2 milli-ohm water which is a requirement for the conductivity detector. This Milli-Q water system can provide a peace of mind in making the reagents for testing."

"The Advantage A10 menus are difficult to use due to old keyboard technology that makes you move the cursor to each letter of the alphabet with a direction key, after which, you have to push the enter key each time. This is ridiculous for such an expensive, brand new piece of equipment. Concerning after sales care, our service technician, Armando Arteaga, has been terrific, coming through for us during a crucial time with a creative solution."

"The Milli-Q Advantange A10 Ultrapure Water Purification System has made a huge difference in our laboratory. The greatest impact has been related to boron. We are able to go a year on the same cartridges compared to a month with our old polisher. There have been no water quality issues since we began using it which has increased productivity of the laboratory. It is a high quality product that I recommend for your laboratory."

"Menu and reset of alarms are not user-friendly especially if you are not working with them all the time. System tries to do too much thinking for the user and seems a bit Rube Goldberg (over-engineered to perform a simple task in a complicated fashion). System stopped functioning and had to be rebooted on several occasions. Prices on consumables present a less than forthright situation that I do not care for. The service rep in my area did not respond to my attempt to contact him. It turned out that he was given a new territory and my quest was not forwarded to the new service rep. I would consider another source like Aqua Solution if I where to buy another system."

The Milli-Q® Advantage system has been designed to deliver high quality ultrapure water adapted to every user’s needs in today’s laboratory environment.
The system features two separate and distinct components: the production unit and the delivery point-of-use unit:
The Q-POD’s interface simplifies operation and displays essential data for complete user reassurance. Up to three Q-PODs can be used with each production unit at different locations within the same laboratory.
Daily performance is facilitated by having both ultrapure water and information conveniently delivered at the point-of-use. The Q-POD unit is always within reach, and its convenient and adaptable dispensing enables the user to work both intuitively and precisely. The user can select either a very precise volume with the autofill key or manually press the plunger. The Q-POD unit’s multicolor graphic display allows easy interaction with the system and provides information about water quantity and quality.
