Water for Molecular Biology

Certified water quality from an ISO® 9001 / cGMP environment

NEW: Millipore now offers bottled water in 1L, 0.5 L and 125 mL volumes for use in molecular biology experiments.

Intended Usage and Recommendations

Water for Molecular Biology has been developed for laboratories requiring less than 50 L of water/year. Intended for research use only, it has been tested and is suitable for use in experiments requiring sterile, RNase-free, DNase-free and protease-free water.

Key Benefits:

Certified water quality: Strict quality control tests and production in an ISO® 9001 / cGMP environment provide high-quality water for critical molecular biology experiments. Delivered with a Certificate of Quality.
Trusted manufacturer: Manufactured by Millipore, leader in water purification and molecular biology products.
Easy traceability: One label can be peeled off and affixed to a laboratory notebook for traceability in experiments.
Volume range adapted to user needs: Available in 1 L, 0.5 L, 125 mL bottles in different package sizes.

Water for Molecular Biology is certified:

Sterile
RNase-free
DNase-free
Protease-free
Calcium-free
Magnesium-free
RT-PCR Tested

For Large Volume Users

Laboratories using more than 1 L of ultrapure water per week should opt for a Millipore laboratory water purification system (such as the Milli-Q system), designed to provide larger volumes of water.

We have developed ultrapure water systems adapted to the needs and applications of scientists working in a variety of fields. Click on the links below to see details of some of these lab water systems.

When used with a Biopak® end filter, all of the systems below produce pyrogen-free, nuclease-free and bacteria-free water.

RT-PCR Tested

Millipore Water for Molecular Biology* is ultrapure water that is prepared using our unique combination of knowledge and expertise in a variety of areas: water purification; sterilizing filtration; aseptic filling and sterility testing; biochemistry; and molecular biology applications.

When this knowledge is used to produce and control bottled water in an ISO 9001 / cGMP validated environment, it constitutes the warranty of an adequate solution for small-volume users.Each product is delivered with a Certificate of Quality describing the test procedure, specifications and test results in detail. A complete Validation Guide is available upon request.

Certificate of Quality example*

Traceability is made easy by a duplicate of the label that can be peeled off and affixed in a laboratory notebook for clear identification of water quality and lot number used in experiments.

Product Validation

Molecular Biology suitability

Water for Molecular Biology was validated by RT-PCR tests performed with water from a lot of bottled water within specifications . The test protocol can be audited at the production site.
Frequency of the validation tests: yearly or if the process is modified.

Calcium-and Magnesium-free bottled water

To confirm that bottled water had a Ca and Mg level below 10 µg/L, tests were performed by ion chromatography on aged bottled water, using a Dionex® ICS-3000 with CS12 3 x 150 mm column, with a CG12 3 x 30 mm guard column, a CSRS 300 2 mm suppressor and a TCCULP1 pre-concentration loop for the analysis. Linear gradient 10 mM to 30 mM from T0 to T15 was used.
Frequency of the validation tests: yearly or if the process is modified.

Storage Conditions: 0 – 25°C
Use preferably less than two years after the manufacturing date.
