Improves baseline stability and reduces downtime in Dionex IC equipment

Billerica, Massachusetts — Millipore Corporation (NYSE:MIL), a leading provider of technologies, tools and services for the global life science industry, today announced the availability of the 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. A scientist performing trace and ultra trace analysis in Tokyo recently described his experience with the ICW-3000 system: “In our field of research, reliable results depend on having a constant, reliable supply of ultrapure water. Having a direct feed of high purity water is essential to ensure proper baselines.”

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. Everyday use is also easy. 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.

“I was absolutely amazed at how easy it was to install and use the new Millipore ICW-3000 system,” the Japanese researcher added. “Our unit now has a constant flow of ultrapure water, and we’re able to focus on our research without worrying about how to obtain the water we need.”
