General Description
The Biopak® Polisher is an ultrafiltration cartridge designed to produce water suitable for molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell culture when fed with Milli-Q® purified water. It is validated for continuous use for 90 days.
Application
Biopak® Polisher ultrafiltration cartridge is suitable for use with:
- Milli-Q® IX 7003/05/10/15
- Milli-Q® IQ 7000, IQ 7003/05/10/15
- Milli-Q® EQ 7000, EQ 7008/16
Designed for applications such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell culture (when fed with Milli-Q® purified water), the Biopak® ultrafiltration unit removes macromolecules and larger biological structures, such as bacteria.
Biopak® Polisher is recommended for a wide range of laboratory applications where bacteria, pyrogen, nuclease, and/or protease levels must be controlled. This includes:
- Small-interfering RNA (siRNA) research
- RNA in situ hybridization
- Microarray development
- Studies of protein synthesis machinery
Features and Benefits
- Minimizes risk of nuclease, protease, pyrogen, or bacteria contamination.
- Eliminates the need for toxic agents such as DEPC, improving safety, saving time, and reducing costs.
- Bottom-tip is redesigned for secured installation of the protection bell.
- Easy maintenance: The polisher is easily installed and replaced; does not require sanitization.
- e-Sure tag for RFID connection with POD enables full traceability (data management) and automatic consumable status monitoring on the POD’s touchscreen interface.
