Highly recommend the brand, this unit is for specific applications but the company is consistently great.
Water purification
We purchased our unit used from a medical testing lab and it was very well maintained and in great shape. This unit is often sold along side specific testing equipment but we purchased ours alone. We use it for ultra pure water and it does an outstanding job. The filters are a bit pricing. The overall use is not very difficult and the user manuals are very well done and easy to follow.

AFS® 8D and AFS 16D Systems provide a cost-effective, low maintenance water purification solution for analyzers with degassed pure water needs up to 320 L daily. AFS® D systems combine complementary water purification techniques (complete pretreatment, advanced reverse osmosis [RO], Q-Gard® polishing pack treatment, exposure to a bactericidal UV lamp, degassing, and final 0.22 µm filtration) to provide reliable and consistent water quality. Water produced by the systems complies with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI®) guideline for clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW).
Optimized lifetimes for the systems’ pretreatment and polishing packs, as well as low feed water consumption make AFS® D systems a cost-effective choice.
The systems are designed to fulfill accreditation needs (such as CAPSM 15189 accreditation to the ISO® 15189:2007 standard), and have full monitoring and water quality archiving capabilities that allow storage of up to six months of data. Optional activation of Millitrack® software allows easy, rapid access to this information (and also enhances data management control and provides remote system access).
Robust AFS® D systems require little maintenance, which means less analyzer downtime. Systems have a small footprint and can be installed wherever it is convenient in the laboratory: on a wall, on or under the bench, or on a cart. AFS® D systems are customizable with a wide range of options and accessories, including reservoirs, a sanitization kit and an aeration kit.
