Milli-Q® Clinical Water Purification Systems
Reliable water purification is critical for clinical laboratories to comply with CLSI® standards and for smooth and uninterrupted daily lab operations.
Here’s how the range of Milli-Q® clinical water purification systems deliver robust performance to support laboratory productivity, efficiency and the reliability of patient results:
- Assure consistent-quality Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water (CLRW)
- Decrease operating expenses thanks to reduced water use
- Reduce downtime by eliminating maintenance procedures (e.g. no resin cylinder changes)
- Save time thanks to simplified use, data traceability and maintenance
- Achieve more uptime with real-time online monitoring and best-in-class Milli-Q® Services
Products
Choose from a Range of Adaptable Water Solutions
In every clinical lab, whether in a large testing facility, hospital or small clinic, the water system set up must:
- Comply with quality requirements of the analyzers and their various applications
- Meet volume demands
- Fit the laboratory’s space
We offer a range of water purification systems that can be adapted to any lab’s specifications. No matter the lab size, set up, or quality requirements, solutions are available that produce from a few liters to up to several thousand liters per day of pure, CLRW, and ultrapure quality water.
Reduce Running Costs & Environmental Impact
Innovative Milli-Q® systems are designed to reduce water, chemical waste, and associated costs:
Up to 50% water savings
Recycling of reject reverse osmosis (RO) water by E.R.A.® (evolutive reject adjustment) technology reduces water use up to 50% versus traditional RO systems. This process also extends the lifetime of pre-treatment cartridges, further reducing laboratory waste.
No chemical waste
Elix® electrodeionization (EDI) technology eliminates the need for hazardous chemical regeneration procedures, associated waste, and frequent replacement of costly resin cylinders.
Quick and easy cartridge changes thanks to the patented, ergonomic pack-locking system on Milli-Q® high-flow water systems.
Achieve More Efficient Daily Operations
Less time spent managing lab equipment, including water systems, can save precious time for more important operations and urgencies.

Past and future maintenance actions are clearly displayed on the interactive MyMilli-Q™ Event Traceability tool.
Improve Quality Management & Data Traceability
Never miss a data point again. Milli-Q® water purification systems automatically record all water quality parameters, volumes and system events directly in the system. Events include alerts, setting modifications, purification cartridge replacements, service activities, and more. This is especially critical for clinical laboratories, as water quality must be documented for labs seeking to conform to CLSI® and requiring accreditation (or reaccreditation) to the ISO 15189:2022 standard supported by CAP 15189SM accreditation.
- E-record archiving facilitates accreditation as all data generated are automatically stored in the system memory.
- RFID technology ensures automatic traceability of purification cartridges and prevents the insertion of an incorrect consumable.
- The Event Traceability tool‡ makes it easy to view events by type and over a specified timeline and supports planning for future maintenance.
- Water quality parameters (resistivity, temperature, and TOC) are rapidly searchable and graphable over any specified timeline‡.
