General Description
EDS-Pak® Polisher, an activated carbon-based cartridge, efficiently removes organic contaminants such as phthalates, bisphenol A, and nonylphenol. It is validated to produce 300L of endocrine disruptor-free water from Milli-Q® ultrapure water as the water source.
EDS-Pak®-treated ultrapure water is suitable for the preparation of buffers, blanks, and standards employed in the quantification of endocrine disruptors.
Application
The EDS-Pak® Polisher is used to produce endocrine disruptor (ED)-free water at the point of dispense of Milli-Q® IQ and EQ 7 series. It efficiently removes trace levels of ED contaminants from ultrapure water for use in laboratory applications, such as:
- Preparation of samples, standard solutions, or working solutions for the assessment of environmental toxicity of bisphenols.
- Analysis of endocrine disruptors in water.
- Analysis of pharmaceuticals and their degradation products in wastewater.
- Testing of alkaloids in health food products.
- Analysis of alpha-lipoic acid in biological samples by chromatographic techniques.
Features and Benefits
- Final purification step that delivers endocrine disruptor-free ultrapure water.
- Validated for efficient removal of bisphenol A, diethylhexyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, and nonylphenol.
- Certificate of Quality available online.
- Bottom-tip redesigned for secure installation of the protection bell.
- Carefree maintenance: Easily installed and replaced.
- e-Sure tag for RFID connection with Q-POD® dispenser enables full traceability (data management) and automatic consumable status monitoring on the POD’s touchscreen interface.
