Millipore AFS 8 Water Purification System for Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water (CLRW)

The Millipore AFS 8 Water Purification System is engineered to deliver clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW) in compliance with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines, making it essential for applications in clinical diagnostics, molecular diagnostics, and biotechnology workflows requiring ultrapure water.

Key features include:

• Flow Rates: 8 liters per hour production into a 30 L reservoir with dispensing up to 2 L/min directly to analyzers
• Purification Technologies: integrates comprehensive pretreatment, advanced reverse osmosis (RO), a bactericidal UV lamp, and a final 0.22 µm sterile filtration step to ensure microbial safety and chemical purity
• Water Quality: resistivity >15 MΩ-cm at 25°C and low total organic carbon (TOC) <30 ppb, meeting high purity standards essential for bioprocessing, gene editing, and synthetic biology research environments
• Data Monitoring and Archiving: full system monitoring with the capability to archive water quality data for up to six months, supporting compliance and process validation in biopharmaceutical production pipelines
• Physical Specifications: compact design (585 x 268 x 426 mm), lightweight (12.5 kg empty, < 28 kg operating), optimized for space-constrained laboratory settings

This water purification system is widely adopted in clinical laboratories and biotechnology research for reliable, consistent production of ultrapure water essential for reagent preparation, sample processing, and analyzer feed systems. Its advanced purification methods and comprehensive quality control features make it critical in molecular biology workflows, including biomanufacturing and high-precision fluorescence analysis applications.
