The Millipore Milli-Q® IQ 7005 is an integrated laboratory water purification system designed to produce Type 2 pure water and Type 1 ultrapure water from potable tap water. The offered configuration includes the Milli-Q IQ 7005 system, a 50 L storage tank, and a dispensing unit. The platform combines reverse osmosis, Elix® electrodeionization, mercury-free ECH2O® UV technology, and IPAK Quanta® polishing to provide consistent water quality for analytical and life-science laboratories.
The system produces Type 2 pure water at 5 L/h and delivers Type 1 ultrapure water with a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ·cm at 25 °C at up to 2 L/min. Ultrapure water is suitable for HPLC, UHPLC, LC-MS, IC, ICP, and other sensitive analytical techniques, while Type 2 water supports general laboratory applications such as buffer and reagent preparation or feeding laboratory equipment.
Water Purification Technology
Reverse Osmosis
The advanced RO stage removes a broad range of dissolved and particulate contaminants from the incoming tap water while supporting consistent product flow and reduced water consumption.
The IPAK Gard® pretreatment cartridge protects the RO membrane and helps maintain stable system performance.
Elix® Electrodeionization
Following reverse osmosis, Elix® EDI continuously removes ionic contaminants without routine chemical regeneration.
The resulting Type 2 water can be used directly for general laboratory applications or further purified to produce Type 1 ultrapure water.
IPAK Quanta®
The IPAK Quanta® polishing cartridge removes trace ionic and organic contaminants from purified water prior to final Type 1 dispensing.
Mercury-Free ECH2O® UV Technology
Patented ECH2O® UV lamps are completely mercury-free.
They are used to:
- inactivate bacteria,
- control microbial contamination,
- oxidize organic impurities,
- preserve water quality throughout the system.
The intelligent storage tank can also incorporate an ASM ECH2O® bactericidal UV lamp and integrated vent filtration to protect stored water from external contamination.
50 L Intelligent Storage Tank
The 50 L storage tank provides protected storage of Type 2 water.
Features include:
- integrated vent filtration,
- protection against airborne contamination,
- optional/integrated ASM ECH2O® UV protection depending on configuration,
- connection to E-POD® dispensing.
The tank and purification unit can be installed under or on a laboratory bench, with wall-mounting options available depending on configuration.
E-POD® Type 2 Water Dispenser
The E-POD® provides convenient access to pressurized Type 2 pure water.
Typical uses include:
- buffer preparation,
- reagent preparation,
- pH solutions,
- microbiology media,
- histology reagents,
- staining solutions,
- laboratory washers,
- gas generators.
Q-POD® Type 1 Ultrapure Water Dispenser
The Q-POD® provides Type 1 ultrapure water from drop-by-drop dispensing up to 2 L/min.
Optional Application POD-Paks can be installed to tailor the final water quality to specific applications.
A10® TOC Monitor
The integrated online A10® monitor provides Total Organic Carbon monitoring of ultrapure water.
Low and controlled TOC is particularly important for:
- HPLC and UHPLC,
- LC-MS,
- sensitive chromatographic methods,
- mobile-phase preparation,
- trace organic analysis.
Data Management and MyMilli-Q™
Integrated digital data management provides paperless access to system and water-quality information.
MyMilli-Q™ Remote Care can provide:
- 24/7 alert and alarm notifications,
- real-time system status,
- water-quality monitoring,
- remote diagnostics,
- selected remote service interventions,
- full data traceability,
- support for audit and accreditation preparation,
- service and consumables contract management.
Consumable Traceability
Consumables feature e-Sure RFID tags supporting:
- consumable identification,
- traceability,
- installation verification,
- replacement management.
