Description

General description

EDS-Pak^® Polisher is an activated carbon-based cartridge to be connected at the outlet of ultrapure water equipment, at the outlet of the Q-POD^® dispenser of the Milli-Q^® Integral and Advantage A10 for the best results. EDS-Pak^® cartridge media, it′s housing, and connector materials are validated for the removal of several endocrine disrupters.
EDS-Pak^® polisher can be installed on all Type 1 water purification systems that deliver ultrapure water with TOC < 5 ppb, including the Milli-Q^®, Synergy^®, Simplicity^® and Direct-Q^® systems.

Application

The EDS-Pak^® polisher delivers endocrine disruptor-free water suitable for the preparation of blanks, reagents, and standard solutions used for the analyses of molecules such as Bisphenol A, phthalates and nonylphenol by GC-MS or LC-MS.

Features and Benefits

• Point-of-use polisher for use with Milli-Q^® and other Type 1 water purification systems.
• Final purification step provides endocrine disrupter-free ultrapure water at a high flow rate.
• Delivers a minimum of 300 L of EDS-free ultrapure water.
• EDS-Pak^® cartridge contains a specific type of activated carbon validated for efficient removal of endocrine disrupters (EDS) mainly bisphenol A, diethyl phthalate and di-n-butyl phthalate.
• Each EDS-Pak^® cartridge is delivered hermetically sealed, with its Certificate of Quality.

Other Notes

Before use, the EDS-Pak^® unit must be conditioned with methanol to ensure that all binding surfaces are accessible to endocrine disrupters. Following this step, the cartridge should then be flushed with ultrapure water to remove any excess methanol. Once conditioned, the EDS-Pak^® unit is warranted to deliver up to 300 L of EDS-free water when fed by ultrapure water with a TOC level < 5 ppb at a flow rate between 0.5 – 2 L/min.

A 50 mL glass syringe is required to condition the EDS-Pak^® cartridge with methanol. This syringe is not provided.
