Milli-Q® CLX 7000 Clinical Water Systems
MerckThe Milli-Q® CLX 7000 series of connected water purification systems provides clinical laboratories with an economical and reliable pure water solution for volumes of up to 3000 L/day, fulfilling CLRW needs for one or several high-throughput clinical analyzers.

AFS 10E and 15E Systems
MerckAFS 10E and 15E Systems provide an economical and reliable water purification solution for analyzers with pure water needs up to 300 L daily. AFS E systems combine state-of-the-art Elix electrodeionization (EDI) technology with other complementary water purification techniques to provide reliable and consistent water quality. Water produced by the systems complies with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline for clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW). Elix EDI technology, which uses ion exchange resins that are permanently self-regenerated, helps ensure low and predictable running costs for the AFS E range of systems. The fact that there are no resin cylinders to replace also helps reduce system-related expenses for users. The systems are designed to fulfill accreditation needs (such as CAP 15189 accreditation to the ISO 15189:2007 standard), and have full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities that allow storage of up to six months of data. Optional activation of Millitrack software allows easy, rapid access to this information (and also enhances data management control and provides remote system access). Robust AFS E systems require little maintenance, thanks to patented Elix technology, which needs no softeners or conditioning cartridges—a cost-saving advantage that also means less analyzer downtime. Systems have a small footprint and can be installed wherever it is convenient in the laboratory: on a wall, on or under the bench, or on a cart. AFS 10E and 15E Systems Produce water with flow rates of 10 and 15 L/h respectively Combine Millipore’s state-of-the-art Elix electrodeionization (EDI) technology with other complementary water purification techniques Designed to be in compliance with CLSI CLRW quantitative specifications Fit any lab and can be mounted on a bench, wall or cart Features Elix EDI ensures a reliable, constant source of clinical laboratory reagent water Low, predictable running costs Full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities to fulfill accreditation needs Robust systems require little maintenance Small footprint; configuration can be adapted to fit changing needs

AFS® 8D and 16D Water Purification Systems
MerckAFS® 8D and AFS 16D Systems provide a cost-effective, low maintenance water purification solution for analyzers with degassed pure water needs up to 320 L daily. AFS® D systems combine complementary water purification techniques (complete pretreatment, advanced reverse osmosis [RO], Q-Gard® polishing pack treatment, exposure to a bactericidal UV lamp, degassing, and final 0.22 µm filtration) to provide reliable and consistent water quality. Water produced by the systems complies with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI®) guideline for clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW). Optimized lifetimes for the systems’ pretreatment and polishing packs, as well as low feed water consumption make AFS® D systems a cost-effective choice. The systems are designed to fulfill accreditation needs (such as CAPSM 15189 accreditation to the ISO® 15189:2007 standard), and have full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities that allow storage of up to six months of data. Optional activation of Millitrack® software allows easy, rapid access to this information (and also enhances data management control and provides remote system access). Robust AFS® D systems require little maintenance, which means less analyzer downtime. Systems have a small footprint and can be installed wherever it is convenient in the laboratory: on a wall, on or under the bench, or on a cart. AFS® D systems are customizable with a wide range of options and accessories, including reservoirs, a sanitization kit and an aeration kit.
