General description

AFS® E systems combine state-of-the-art Elix® electrodeionization (EDI) technology with other complementary water purification techniques to provide reliable and consistent water quality. The AFS® 15E water purification system can produce up to 300 L of water daily with a production flow rate to the reservoir of 15 L/h and a dispensing flow rate to the analyzer of 2 L/min. Water produced by the systems complies with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline for clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW). Elix® EDI technology, which uses ion exchange resins that are permanently self-regenerated, helps ensure low and predictable running costs for the AFS® E range of systems. These systems have full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities that allow storage of up to six months of data.

Application

AFS E ® series water purification systems with Elix® technology, feed analyzers with consistent water quality that meets CLRW standards of the CLSI.

Features and Benefits

  • State-of-the-art Elix® electrodeionization (EDI) technology is combined with other complementary water purification techniques to provide consistent water quality meeting CLRW standards
  • Elix® EDI technology uses permanently self-regenerating ion exchange resins to ensure predictable running costs
  • Fulfills accreditation needs (e.g. CAP 15189SM accreditation to the ISO 15189:2022 standard) with full monitoring and automatic water quality archiving capabilities. Up to 6 months of information can be stored for reliable traceability
  • Patented Elix® technology provides constant quality water without the need for softeners or conditioning cartridges, which means reduced maintenance ― and less analyzer downtime
  • Milli-Q® Service Plans offer a range of support, including preventive maintenance visits and online contract management
  • A small footprint allows installation wherever it’s convenient: on the wall, on or under the bench, or on a cart
