Elix® High-Throughput systems have been designed to deliver the highest pure water quality for your regular laboratory applications and instrument feed. Elix®High-Throughput systems offer connected, sustainable central pure water solutions for volume needs up to 9000 L daily, making them the perfect choice for large laboratories or lab buildings. Elix® water quality is ideal for the preparation of reagents and buffers, for microbiology media, hydroponics or histology. It is also the best feed for all Milli-Q® and high-throughput Super-Q® ultrapure water systems, as well as equipment such as glassware washers, clinical analyzers, stability chambers, humidifiers, weathering test equipment, autoclaves and hydrogen generators.
To reach the most reliable pure water quality, Elix® High-Throughput systems are built on an optimized purification sequence:
Tap water first enters the Progard® pretreatment cartridge which efficiently removes particles & colloids, free chlorine and hardness before reverse osmosis (RO) purification. Elix® systems benefit from advanced RO technology and E.R.A.™ technology, which controls water consumption, and ensures a constant product flow rate and optimal water quality. All prolong the lifetime of the RO membrane and downstream purification technologies. Depending on daily volume needs, Elix® High-Throughput systems are available in a range of production flow rates (40, 80, 120 or 150 L/h).
The patented Elix® module further removes ions to typically reach >5 MΩ cm (at 25°C) resistivity. All Elix® systems are equipped with the best-in-class Elix®electrodeionization technology. It provides:
Elix® pure water is irradiated by a bactericidal UV lamp before entering the storage tank, or SDS 500 (Storage and Distribution System). The reservoir design maintains consistent purity of stored water. The vent filter provides effective protection against airborne contaminants and the ASM, Automatic Sanitization Module, prevents biofilm formation. Elix® water can then be sent by a distribution pump to feed instruments or a distribution loop. They can be integrated into a centralized system, providing total control of all parameters within the system itself as well as within the external pure water distribution loop.
Elix® High-Throughput systems are designed to produce up to 9000 L/day of Type 2 water from potable tap feed water to meet or exceed the relevant standards defined by ISO® 3696 / BS 3997 the European and US Pharmacopoeia, and other international bodies.
