"After discovering that the mouse brain cells we were using in our research appeared unhealthy due to poor RO water quality, we bought an Elix Advantage system to supply feed water to our Milli-Q Gradient system (with BioPak final filter). When we started using the Elix system, ultrapure water TOC levels dropped from over 30 down to 3 ppb, and we now have constant-quality pure water that matches our needs."
Benefit No. 2: Constant water quality
Consistency and reliability in pure water quality is crucial in laboratory applications. The Elix Advantage system provides consistent, reliable pure water, saving users time and money. Combining Millipore's patented Elix electrodeionization technology with the most advanced purification technologies (optimized pretreatment and advanced reverse osmosis; UV sanitization and pure water recirculation to maintain low bacteria levels), the Elix Advantage system uses potable tap water to produce consistent, high quality pure water for all your lab's needs. It is important to note that using Elix water as feed for Type I Milli-Q systems will help ensure optimal ultrapure water quality and also extend the lifetime of the Type I system(s).
Unlike resins used in service deionization that demand chemical regeneration or costly resin replacement, ion exchange resins in the Elix module are continually regenerated by a small electric current — a fact that gives the pure water produced by the Elix Advantage system an unprecedented level of consistent high quality with no need for external chemical regeneration.
The Elix Advantage system is designed to meet or exceed the highest standards, such as the requirements described by ISO 3696 (Grade 2 water); ASTM D1193 (Type II resistivity and TOC Table I specifications); and by the United States, European and Japanese Pharmacopeias for Purified Water.
