Introduction 2
System overview
Milli-Q IQ 7000 consists of 2 main units:
Q-POD® unit (Point Of Dispense) Water purication unit

2Q-POD dispenser 6Hydraulic connections
3Q-POD base 7Electrical connections

Description of the system
The Milli-Q IQ 7000 manages the production and the distribution of ultrapure water from a
puried water source. It consists of two main units:
• The water purication unit manages the production of ultrapure water.
• The Q-POD unit (at least 1, up to 4) integrates the screen interface and manages the
dispensing.
Puried water either from a pressurized loop or a storage tank enters the purication unit. It is
rst puried by the IPAK Meta®polishing cartridge composed of ion-exchange resins, removing
the bulk of the ions. The puried water then ows to the mercury-free ech2o™ 172 nm oxidation
lamp. Organic molecules are partially oxidized, resulting in ions. These can then be captured in
the next stage when the puried water enters the IPAK Quanta®polishing cartridge, composed of
ion-exchange resins and synthetic activated carbon. The IPAK Meta and IPAK Quanta cartridges
always need to be replaced together to ensure optimal purication down to traces. Throughout
the purication steps, quality parameters are monitored with resistivity sensors and the A10®
TOC (total oxidizable carbon) monitor. The A10 TOC Monitor uses a small lamp during its TOC
analysis mode. This is called the ech2oA10 Lamp.

Introduction 3
The Q-POD is the main interface with the user. They are congured with 2 or 5 meter connectors
to the main production unit depending on the laboratory setting. The Q-POD dispenser is
detachable from its support. The arm holding the dispenser on the mast can be moved up and
down to adapt to laboratory glassware. Its dispensing ‘wheel’ delivers water from precise drop-
by-drop up to fast 2 L/min ow rate. The Q-POD’s large 5” touchscreen offers a wide range of
applications for users. It also has a USB port to easily export data. At the outlet of the dispenser,
the nal purication is performed by the application-specic POD-Pak.
When not in active use, the water within the units will recirculate three minutes every hour. This
is to maintain a clean environment and avoid contamination. The system should not be turned
off as this will stop the periodic recirculation taking place.

The system can be fed either by a pressurized loop or a storage tank relying on gravity.

Dispense ultrapure water
It is a good practice to always recirculate water before dispensing.
To do this, press on the recirculation icon, this also refreshes the water quality
parameters:
• Product resistivity
• TOC
• Temperature
There are several options to dispense ultrapure water:
Manual Dispensing
To start dispensing in drop-by-drop, turn the
dispense wheel one notch counter-clockwise.
+
To start dispensing at full ow, press down on
the wheel.
Adjust owrate Stop
To increase the ow rate keep turning the
wheel counter-clockwise until full ow is
reached. To decrease the ow rate, turn the
wheel clockwise.
Drop-by-drop Full ow

Volumetric Dispensing (20mL to 100L)
Enables a user to auto dispense a pre-selected volume.
Note: When connected to a storage tank, always make sure there is enough water present
before dispensing. This information is always displayed in the status bar: 44/120L44/120L
1- Select unit and input volume to
dispense, press ok to validate.
2- Press the start icon on the screen or the
dispenser wheel to initiate the dispense.
The system will automatically stop once the inputted volume is reached.
Note: The system keeps in memory the last volume dispensed. To repeat a volumetric
dispense, click on the start icon or the dispenser wheel.
Assisted Dispensing (50mL to 5L)
Like volumetric dispensing, a pre-selected volume is auto-dispensed and the last milliliters
are distributed drop-by-drop for the user to manually stop the ow when the calibration mark
is reached. The assisted dispensing function brings more precision, avoiding the use of an
intermediary container and possible source of contamination.
1- Select unit and input volume to dispense, press ok to validate.
2- Press the start icon on the screen or the dispenser wheel to initiate the dispense.
The system dispenses in high-ow 96% of the required volume and automatically switches
to drop-by-drop to enable a user to manually and precisely reach the calibration mark of a
volumetric ask.
3- User must manually stop the drop-by-
drop dispensing.
Important! The dispensing must be stopped by the user by either pressing on the dispenser
wheel or the stop dispense icon on the touchscreen.
