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, Milli-Q® IQ 7003/05/10/15, Milli-Q® EQ 7000 and Milli-Q® EQ 7008/16 water purification systems.. 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, or 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, therefore improving safety, saving time and reducing costs.
  • Bottom-tip is redesigned for a 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.

Other Notes

  • Pyrogens (endotoxins) < 0.001 EU/mL
  • RNases < 1 pg/mL
  • DNases < 5 pg/mL
  • Protease < 0.15 μg/mL
  • Bacteria < 0.01 CFU/mL

Directions for Use

  • Organism Retention: Bacteria and pyrogens
  • Mode of Action: Ultrafiltration
  • Application: Cell culture media, molecular biology
  • Intended Use: Bioburden reduction
  • Instructions for Use: This item provides water filtered through ultrafiltration hollow fibers. Refer to insert, section "replacement" in the product package.
  • Storage Statement: Store in dry location.
  • Disposal Statement: Dispose of in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.

  1. How frequently do the various consumables need to be changed?

    The frequency that consumables must be changed depends on the system's usage (treated water volume) and on the consumables themselves (time of usage). In order to ensure the quality of water and your results, the consumables should be replaced when the system alerts you.

  2. What is the consumables delivery time?

    Refer to the consumable's Product page for a first estimation of its expected delivery time and contact customer service for more information.

  3. How are consumables changed?

    To help you to change your system's consumables, several video tutorials are available on our YouTube channel: Milli-Q®System Care Tutorials. For high-flow systems, please keep in mind that all consumable changes must be approved by a 3-digit code that only the person in charge of the system knows.

  4. What is the shelf life for Filter?

    The shelf life is 2 years for all consumables kept in the recommended storage conditions (temperatures from 5 to 30°C; humidity between 10 and 80%). Contact your local representative for more information.

  5. Can I arrange to have my consumables automatically ordered and delivered once a year?

    It's possible to place only one consumable order per year with a specific contract called "Consumable Supply Agreement (CSA)" For further information, contact your local representative or sales contact.

  6. Where can I find data sheets, Certificates of Origin, Certificates of Analysis, and Certificates of Quality?

    Documents and certificates are available in the "Documentation" section on this page. Do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information.

  7. What steps are you taking towards improved sustainability?

    Sustainability is at the heart of our innovations. From reducing water and energy consumption, to minimizing plastic and chemical waste, our dedicated water system engineers are constantly working on new ways to reduce the ecological footprint of our products to better support the sustainability goals we’re all striving towards. For more information, we invite you to review the following brochure and infographic which highlight our efforts and achievements: link. Do not hesitate to contact your local representative for further information.

  8. How can I know which consumables can be used with my system?

    To know which consumables can be used on your system, you can see in the user manual of you system or see it on the following webpage of consumables. All the consumables for each system are indicated.

  9. If I have a final filter that I use only occasionally (e.g., Biopak®) and have another filter (e.g. Millipak®) that I most of the time, can I keep the 'occasional-use' filter for use again at a later time?

    It is not possible to re-use a filter that has been used and then removed because air intake during replacement creates an airlock and blocks water passing through the filter. If you regularly need two different filters, we recommend using two POD dispensers.

  10. Can consumables be opened and refilled?

    Unfortunately, this is not possible because of safety issues and the need to guarantee the quality of consumables and their interior purification components. Our consumables are manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified facility France in agreement with high quality standards.
