Water Purification - Merck Millipore

Ultrapure Water from Pretreated Water for Low-Volume Critical Applications

The Synergy system is designed for laboratories that already have access to purified water and need a point-of-use system to supply high quality ultrapure water. The compact design assures easy installation anywhere in your lab, on the bench or wall-mounted. The Synergy system allows delivery of a fixed volume of Type 1 water and automatically shuts off once the selected volume has been delivered.

For applications requiring very low organic contaminants levels, the Synergy system also incorporates a dual wavelength UV lamp to produce water with <5 ppb TOC (when feedwater TOC is below 50 ppb), making it suitable for HPLC, GC, ILC and TOC analyses. With the BioPak cartridge as a final filter, Synergy systems produce pyrogen-free, Nuclease-free water.


The Synergy system is designed for simple and intuitive operation. Water quality parameters (resistivity or conductivity, temperature) are clearly indicated on a bright color display. Maintenance is limited to a quick and easy replacement of a single consumable.

Applications

• LC buffer preparation
• HPLC isocratic and gradient solution preparation
• Sample dilution
• Buffer, reagents for molecular biology and cell culture media preparation
• Preparation of chemical solutions used with titrators, spectrophotometers and electrophoresis systems

Features

• Produces Type 1 water (18.2 MO·cm at 25 °C ultrapure water) on demand from pretreated water (reverse osmosis or demineralized water).
• Maintenance reduced to a single cartridge change once or twice a year, depending on the volume produced and the quality of the pure water feed.
• System designed for users needing between 2 and 100 liters of ultrapure water per day with instant flow rate of 1.2 L/min.
• Quality suitable for HPLC and other spectrophotometric/spectroscopic analytical techniques for biological, biochemical, and cell culture applications 
• Dispensing adapted to different size laboratory glassware
• Time-saving fixed-volume dispense.

Ultrapure Water Quality on Demand

The Super-Q Plus System is a high-flow water system designed to provide the "final polish" to water which has been pretreated by reverse osmosis, distillation or deionization. Super-Q Plus systems consistently produce ultrapure water quality which exceeds Type 1 ASTM/CAP/CLSI specifications.

The Super-Q Plus water system features a modular design for the production of ultrapure water. The system also features automatic recirculation of water on an hourly basis to maintain water quality between uses. Because Super-Q product water is produced "on demand", there's no need to store water and risk degrading water quality over time.

Applications

• Tissue culture media preparation
• Reagent preparation
• Microelectronics wafer rinsing

Type 1 Reagent Grade Water, Flow Rate Above 0.5 L/min

The Simplicity portable water purification system can be located anywhere in your laboratory. It requires no special installation, no water feed connection and produces ultrapure water on demand from pretreated water (Elix system, distilled, deionized or reverse osmosis water).

For scientists who use less than 5 liters of ultrapure water per day, the Simplicity system is an economical alternative for laboratories that currently use bottled water. Simplicity ultrapure water, produced and used at the point-of-use, is not subject to the degradation and contamination that affects bottled water. The intuitive color graphic display of the Simplicity system means that you can instantly see all system parameters, whether you want to know the water quality, reservoir level or when to replace the pack. With its integrated, removable reservoir, the Simplicity system is designed to make your work easier. The Simplicity UV system contains a built-in dual-wavelength UV lamp (185 and 254 nm) to reduce organic contaminants to < 5 ppb in your ultrapure water, making it suitable for your sensitive applications, such as HPLC, GC and TOC analysis.

Applications

• Production of mobile phase for chromatographic separations
• Preparation of blanks and standard solutions for spectrophotometry, spectroscopy or other analytical techniques 
• Preparation of buffers for biochemical experiments

Features

• Produces Type 1 water (18.2 MO·cm at 25 °C ultrapure water) on demand from pretreated water (reverse osmosis or deionized water)*.
• Installation requires no plumbing.
• System draws water from a removable, refillable, built-in reservoir.
• Flow rate > 0.5 L/min.
• Maintenance reduced to a single cartridge change once or twice a year, based on the resistivity value displayed for the ultrapure water produced.
• System designed for users needing between 1 and 5 liters of ultrapure water per day with instant flow rate of 0.5 L/min.
• System comes with or without a UV lamp (depending on incidence of TOC on applications).
• Alarm function in the event of a sudden drop in the quality of the product water guarantees your water quality at all times.
• Dispensing adapted to different size laboratory glassware.

Compliance with Regulatory Standards

Systems are UL and cUL listed under file E216983 in the “Laboratory Use Electrical Equipment Category”, and meet the requirements of UL 61010 standards. Systems conform to European Union CE directives 89/336/CEE (electromagnetic compatibility) and 73/23/CEE (electrical equipment within certain voltage limits). All systems are manufactured in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified environments.
