MilliporeSigma Expands its Benchtop System Portfolio to Meet the Ultrapure Water Needs of Every Lab
MilliporeSigma’s Milli-Q® Lab Water Solutions benchtop portfolio has expanded further, with solutions able to meet the ultrapure water needs of any laboratory. From essential needs to advanced research and testing, scientists can find the optimal solution to meet their specific requirements.
For scientists using ultrapure water who need to assure high accuracy, reproducibility and efficiency, Milli-Q® IQ 7 Series water systems provide unrivaled technologies to support their workflows:
- Unmatched accuracy is supported by advanced, on-screen water quality monitoring that includes the rapid, online A10® Total Organic Carbon (TOC) monitor. Plus, advanceddata traceability and a full Qualification program facilitate compliance.
- High reproducibility is supported by consistent water quality delivered by complementary purification media, including Elix® electrodeionization (EDI) technology and an intelligently designed pure water storage tank.
- Lab efficiency is enhanced by volumetric dispensing and minimized downtime thanks to remote alarms and troubleshooting via MyMilli-Q™ Remote Care.
Plus, thanks to features that reduce water and electricity consumption compared to older generation systems, Milli-Q® IQ 7 series water systems, as well as the recently introduced Milli-Q® SQ 2Series of water purification systems, are labelled Greener Alternative Products.
Milli-Q SQ 2Series of water purification systems meet scientists’ essential needs for ultrapure water by bringing simplicity through innovation, with 8 patents filed. As small as a sheet of paper, these compact water systems can be easily integrated into any laboratory setup, then even untrained users and jump straight into dispensing.
- Easy & intuitive to operate with an easy-to-carry and transparent 3.5L Switch tank and ergonomic manual ultrapure dispensing from 1.6 L/min to drop by drop,
- Rapid upstart & minimal upkeep with self-installation in under 30 minutes, tank filling in as few as 6 minutes, and no need to replace the UV lamp.
- Adapts to any lab set up and expands to multiple labs by adding and moving dispensing modules and Switch tanks.

AI and Dual-Sensor Spectroscopy Supercharge Antibiotic Fermentation
June 30th 2025Researchers from Chinese universities have developed an AI-powered platform that combines near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy for real-time monitoring and control of antibiotic production, boosting efficiency by over 30%.
Toward a Generalizable Model of Diffuse Reflectance in Particulate Systems
June 30th 2025This tutorial examines the modeling of diffuse reflectance (DR) in complex particulate samples, such as powders and granular solids. Traditional theoretical frameworks like empirical absorbance, Kubelka-Munk, radiative transfer theory (RTT), and the Hapke model are presented in standard and matrix notation where applicable. Their advantages and limitations are highlighted, particularly for heterogeneous particle size distributions and real-world variations in the optical properties of particulate samples. Hybrid and emerging computational strategies, including Monte Carlo methods, full-wave numerical solvers, and machine learning (ML) models, are evaluated for their potential to produce more generalizable prediction models.
