Elix^® 20/35/70/100 Water Purification System

Elix^® systems have been designed to deliver the highest pure water quality for your regular laboratory applications and instrument feed. With over 20 years of proven success, Elix^® is suited to every user’s needs in today’s demanding laboratory environment. 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 Super-Q^® ultrapure water systems, as well as instruments such as glassware washers, autoclaves and hydrogen generators.

Elix^® water • Optimized purification

To reach the most reliable pure water quality, Elix^® is 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 intelligent RO technology. This controls water consumption, 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, different production flow rates are available (20, 35, 70 & 100 L/h).

The patented Elix^® module further removes ions to typically reach 15 MΩ•cm (at 25°C) resistivity. All Elix^® systems are equipped with the best-in-class Elix^® electrodeionization technology. It provides:

• Superior and consistent Type 2 water quality – “Superior”, as resin beads are not degraded by exposure to harsh regeneration chemicals. “Consistent”, as the continuous regeneration avoids the drawbacks of quality variations from resin exhaustion.
  
• Cost & labor savings – Elix^® module contains special carbon beads at its cathode therefore, does not require water softening. Its self-regeneration technology avoids the hassle and costs around DI cartridge replacement. Elix^® is “green” consuming low energy with a small carbon footprint.
  
• Long lasting technology – thanks to its proven design, the module continuously regenerates its resin beads without the need for any maintenance.

Elix^® pure water is irradiated by a bactericidal UV lamp before entering the storage tank. 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^® systems are designed to produce up to 4000 L/day of Type 2 water from potable tap feed water to meet or exceed the relevant standards defined by CLSI^®, ISO^® 3696 / BS 3997 and the European and US Pharmacopoeia.

Advanced support & validation

A complete range of Services, including Validation support, is provided by certified Field Service Engineers using calibrated equipment and Qualification Workbooks. For full confidence in your Elix^® system, it is delivered with a Certificate of Calibration for the built-in temperature and resistivity meters, and a Certificate of Conformity ensuring that it has been built and tested fully assembled following internal Standard Operating Procedures. The manufacturing site is ISO^® 9001 v.2000 and ISO^® 140001 certified.
