AFS 16D water purification system – Millipore excellence for ultra-pure water
Designed by Millipore, the global leader in laboratory instrumentation, the AFS 16D system meets the most stringent requirements of modern clinical laboratories. It consistently delivers water that complies with the CLRW (Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water) standard, with extremely low contamination levels, while incorporating state-of-the-art technologies to ensure maximum efficiency and simplified maintenance. This system is ideal for critical applications where water quality directly affects the reliability of results.
The AFS 16D combines several purification technologies – pre-treatment, advanced reverse osmosis, bactericidal UV lamp, degassing and terminal sterilising filtration – to deliver ultrapure, degassed water with a resistivity greater than 15 MΩ·cm and a TOC content of less than 30 ppb. This performance ensures full compatibility with clinical analysers, reducing optical and mechanical interference caused by bubbles or impurities.
The intelligence of the AFS 16D also lies in its ease of use. With an intuitive interface with a backlit LCD screen, easy-to-replace purification cartridges and a self-maintenance system (automatic rinsing, disinfection), this water purifier can be easily integrated into routine processes. Its ergonomic design with quick-lock cartridges and RFID technology ensure smooth and safe operation on a daily basis.
Compliant with ISO 15189 and CAP 15189 standards , the system automatically archives water quality data, enabling full traceability over six months. By activating the Millitrack® software, laboratories benefit from remote access to critical data, strengthening their quality control and regulatory compliance. The AFS 16D is not just a purification system: it is a true ally for analytical performance.
Its compact, modular design allows for flexible installation: on a bench, under a bench or wall-mounted. With options such as the water recovery loop, the BioPak® C ultrafiltration cartridge and the complete disinfection kit, the AFS 16D can be adapted to the most specific requirements. The partnership with Millipore, with over 50 years of expertise in water purification, guarantees professional support and proven system durability.
