New AFS-8 and AFS-16 Analyzer Feed Systems for the clinical laboratory produce reagent water from tap water for direct-feed to clinical analyzers. The purified water produced by the AFS systems can be used for onboard applications, including serum dilution, reagent reconstitution, and cuvette washing.
    The AFS systems incorporate multiple technologies. The Progard™ 3 Pretreatment Pack with activated carbon and particulate prefiltration removes contaminants from tap water. An anti-scalant protects the reverse osmosis contaminants and colloidal silica. The Q-Gard A Purification Pack applies an ion exchange resin to eliminate any remaining traces of inorganic contaminants. In addition, the AFS-8D and AFS-16D systems include a degasser option to remove dissolved gases from the final product water. The systems are designed with easily replaceable purification packs and automatic cleaning cycles for maintenance.
