Description

General description

AFS^® D systems provide a cost-effective, low-maintenance water purification solution for analyzers with degassed pure water needs up to 320 L daily. The AFS^® 8D water purification system has a production flow rate to the reservoir of 8 L/h and a dispensing flow rate to the analyzer of 0.6 L/min. Water produced by AFS^® D systems complies with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline for clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW). These systems combine complementary water purification techniques (complete pretreatment, advanced reverse osmosis (RO), bactericidal UV lamp, final 0.22 µm filtration) to provide reliable and consistent CLRW-quality water, with an additional step of degassing which prevents dissolved gases from interfering with the analysis. AFS^® D systems have full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities that allows storage of up to six months of data.

Application

AFS^® D water purification systems contain integrated degassing technology designed to provide a solution for applications requiring the removal of soluble and insoluble gases prior to analysis. A hollow fiber degassing technique successfully prevents the formation of bubbles near optical sensors and in tubing, resulting in a fast, effective reduction of soluble gas.

Features and Benefits

• Complementary water purification techniques coupled with a degassing technique provide consistent water quality meeting CLRW standards
• Cost-effective thanks to optimized lifetimes for pretreatment and polishing packs and low feed water
• 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
  
• An intuitive icon-based system display facilitates maintenance, and an ergonomic pack-locking system makes pack changes easier than ever
• 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
