Water Purification System |
|
|

The Milli-Q Reference system delivers ultrapure (Type 1) water customized to fit a broad range of research areas while conserving lab resources. This system incorporates a new purification strategy that combines initial purification of Type II feed water with individualized final purification. Depending on their application, scientists can install a variety of polishing cartridges to remove specific contaminants at the point of delivery. Users can automatically fill lab containers with the desired amount of water using accurate, hands-free volumetric dispensers, and a graphic screen displays water quality and system status. A comprehensive range of service programs are available to install, maintain, validate, and calibrate the Milli-Q Reference system. MILLIPORE
