Consistency and reliability in pure waterquality is crucial in laboratory applications.Regulatory bodies have defined the minimumquality requirements through specific andrigorous standards. The Elix Advantage systemis designed to meet or exceed requirementsas described by ISO® 3696 (Grade 2 water);ASTM® D1193 (Type II resistivity and TOCTable I specifications); and by the United States,European and Japanese Pharmacopeias forPurified Water.
The Elix Advantage system combines patented,state-of-the-art Elix electrodeionizationtechnology with the best purificationtechnologies (Progard® pretreatment, advancedreverse osmosis, 254 nm UV lamp) to providethe ideal solution for every lab using purewater—from a few liters to several hundredliters per day.
The system’s pressurized pure water is deliveredby independent E-POD water dispensers. Up tothree E-POD units per system can be placedat convenient locations in the lab for easy andflexible water delivery.

Following a reverse osmosis step, the Millipore-patented E tecoo boosts the purificationprocess to produce consistent, superior qualitypurified water.
- Millipore’s Elix module consists of an anode and acathode separated by alternating ao-pereabea cato-pereabe ebraes.
- The compartments used for ion removal are filledwith quat o-ecae res that ispermanently and gently regenerated by a weakelectric current, eliminating the need for chemicalregeneration on-site, as well as the exchange of DIresin cartridges.
- Actate carbo beas fill the cathodecompartment to ensure dispersion of the hydroxylions generated over a large volume, preventing thehigh pH that would lead to CaCO

patented technology eliminates the need to protectthe Elix module by a softener. Time in operation

The graph below clearly shows how Elix technology outdistances
competitors’ systems that use ion-exchange resins which must bechemically regenerated on-site or exchanged.Unlike these systems, which risk variations in water quality as theresins are gradually exhausted, Elix Advantage systems produceconsistently high quality pure water. You can be sure at all times of thequality of the pure water produced by your Elix Advantage system.

COMPLEMENTARYPURIFICATION STEPSThe purification sequence for the new Elix Advantage system is basedon purification steps that complement one another and optimize thebenefits of each technology.
Proar Pretreatet Pack
• TheProgard pretreatment pack containsactivated carbon, anti-scaling compoundsand a prefilterto efficiently protect theROmembrane against oxidation, scaling andplugging.
• Silver-impregnated activated carbonpreventsproliferation of thebacteriapresent in tap water.
• RFID (Radio Frequency IdentificationTechnology)detection eliminatestherisk of errorssuch as incorrect pack installation orpack exhaustion, etc.
Pretreatet Beefts
• Pretreatment with a Progard pretreatmentpack providesthebest protection forthesystem’sReverse Osmosis(RO)membrane,guarding it against clogging and helping toextend equipment lifetime.
• In addition, becausepack changesaretriggered in part by actualwaterconsumption, you obtain optimaluse fromyourpretreatment, aswellas two extrabenefits: controlled budget expensesforyou—and lesswaste forthe environment.
