Singapore, Mar 10, 2010: Millipore, one of the leading providers of technologies, tools and services for the global life science industry, has introduced ICW-3000 water purification system. The new system produces a constant and reliable source of ultrapure water for Dionex IC (Ion Chromatography) systems.

Ultrapure water from the ICW-3000 system can increase the precision of IC analyses. The ICW-3000 system provides a continual flow of ultrapure water to the eluent generator and regenerant lines of the suppressor. This reduces the carbonate content in the water—sharply decreasing contamination risks and improving experiment reproducibility, while also eliminating the need for helium. The water system also eliminates the need for eluent preparation and the instrument downtime that occurs when filling eluent bottles.

With only two tubes and one power cord to connect, the new system is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. The user just fills the system’s 10-liter tank with pure water in order to produce a constant flow of ultrapure water for the IC system. The ICW-3000 system is remote-controlled by the Dionex IC system: both systems are 100% compatible.
