Merck Millipore AFS 40E, 80E, 120E and 150E water purification systems

Merck Millipore has announced its AFS 40E, 80E, 120E and 150E water purification systems, developed to provide clinical laboratories with an economical water purification solution for daily water volumes of up to 3000 L.

Elix electrodeionisation (EDI) technology ensures constant water quality with low and predictable running costs, while ERA (Evolutive Reject Adjustment) technology takes feed water quality into account in order to automatically optimise water recovery and reduce water usage costs. The systems offer users 24/7 real-time monitoring and remote control over their water purification systems, as well as enhanced services.

The units have been designed to provide quick and precise remote diagnostics and offer proactive service in order to avoid downtime. Service starts with feed water analysis by a certified Merck Millipore Field Service Engineer prior to system installation. Over time, users can ensure the best upkeep of their system with a customised Watercare Pact service plan.

With its large touch screen, the system is designed for intuitive operation and for supporting the user with easy step-by-step instructions during routine maintenance. For increased flexibility, the interface can also be accessed from another location, using a PC, tablet or smartphone through a web browser.

Mobile and customisable, the range is designed to make the best use of lab space. The quiet, compact systems are mounted on wheels and can be moved around depending on current lab requirements. Users can choose from a number of options and accessories, including an online total organic carbon (TOC) monitor, degassing option and sanitary sampling valve.
