General description

Analyzer Feed Systems (AFS®) provide a cost-effective solution for analyzers with pure water needs of up to 480 L daily. The AFS® 8 water purification system has a production flow rate to the reservoir of 8 L/h and a dispensing flow rate to the analyzer of up to 2 L/min. Water produced by AFS® 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. AFS® systems have full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities that allows storage of up to six months of data.

Application

AFS® water purification systems feed analyzers with consistent water quality that meets CLRW standards of the CLSI.

Features and Benefits

  • Complementary water purification techniques provide consistent water quality meeting CLRW standards
  • Cost-effective thanks to optimized lifetimes for pretreatment and polishing packs and low feed water use
  • 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
