A workhorse tool that always performs
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Analytical laboratory

"We have had a Milli-Q Direct water purification system that produces RO water and 18.2MOhm lab water for 10 years. The system has been reliable and the service when necessary has been top notch. Our system is lightly used, so one issue is that the consumables (filters mainly) could last a lot longer than the 6 month alarm considering the consumables are an investment. I also like that I can hit a button and pull a 100 mL or a liter of water without having to monitor the unit - it just dispenses the appropriate amount. If I were to replace this system (maybe I never will have to?), I would definitely go back to Milli-Q."

Great machine but no option to recycle the spent consumables back to Millipore.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Molecular biology manufacturing

"Instrument works exactly as it should. Only issue is that Millipore UK do NOT offer any recycling of the cartridges. They all end up going to landfill. In this day and age this is unacceptable but one gets stonewalled when one questions Millipore UK. Need to get their act togther on recycling because if we had a real alternative to this Gold standard product we would have to consider changing."

I would definitely recommend the Milli-Q Direct 8 to any lab doing BOD analysis.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Water Treatment

"The Millipore Milli-Q Direct 8 was purchased to replace the Barnstead still that was used to make water for BOD analysis. Due to the amount of deionized water that was wasted during the distillation process, we were constantly changing out the carbon filters and cartridges on the DI system. This was extremely costly. The Milli-Q Direct 8 converts our tap water into Type I water with no water wasted. To date, there has been no problem with the BOD testing and we have experienced significant monetary savings."

"We use Milli-Q in diverse fields of our research. Purified water from Milli-Q is an essential part mobile phase in chromatography. In fact, we always call them Milli-Q water. It is the maximum possible quality water we can get in our lab. Though we feel little painful to change those expensive cartridges, they deserve a pricey tag for their great performance. "

"This water purification system from Millipore is very convenient to use, looks very neat and produces water that is pure or clean enough for use in almost every bioanalytical assays in the lab. So far, the water coming out from this purifier doesn't introduce any contaminants that are significant to alter the experimental data. After sales is good too because they immediately responded to our call when the purifier had a leak and fixed it right away."

"Very nice product but limited in the amount of water produced."

Review date: 13 Apr 2011 | Milli-Q® Direct Laboratory Water Purification system
Millipore designed the Milli-Q Direct system to address the needs of scientists who want to get access to both pure and ultrapure water, directly from tap water.

The pure water produced by the Reverse Osmosis is stored in a tank designed to minimize risks of contamination during water storage. Millipore tanks level sensor will allow the systems to automatically start or stop producing water when you want it, display accurately on the systems screen the water level in the tank and have safety devices preventing overflow or system running dry.

From that reservoir, water can be sourced though a front valve or sent by a delivery pump to feed instruments such as a glassware washing machine, or further processed by the Milli-Q Direct to produce ultrapure (type1) water.

From pure water, the Milli-Q Direct produces ultrapure water adapted to your specific applications and exceeding the requirements of the most demanding norms.


Milli-Q® Direct Laboratory Water Purification system Features & Benefits:

  • The low flow function allows precisely adjusting the meniscus in volumetric flasks to prepare easily accurate aqueous solutions.
  • The 75 cm long tubing reaches the sink for easy glassware washing
  • The volumetric function, automatically delivers the water volume that you need, allowing you to save time
  • The height and shape of the dispensing arm are designed to fit the height & shape of all laboratory glassware, from the 250 mL Erlenmeyer to the 2 L graduated cylinder.
  • Deliver water hands-free using the footswitch option for more convenience.
  • Select POD-Pak from a wide range to adapt you ultrapure water to a specific application in a glimpse: you may switch from a Millipak Express 40 for general laboratory applications to an LC-Pak for production of UHPLC or LC-MS grade water or a BioPak for the delivery of pyrogen-free and nuclease-free water for PCR or other molecular biology applications.
