The Direct Detect system provides accurate results without the pitfalls of colorimetric assays. By measuring amide bonds in protein chains, the system accurately determines an intrinsic component of every protein without relying on amino acid composition, dye binding properties or reduction-oxidation (redox) potential. Also, evaluation of other components of complex mixtures separable from the protein spectral region, like lipids, make lysates and membrane preps easier than ever.

Features:

Milli-Q Direct systems produce both pure (Type 3) and ultrapure (Type I) water directly from tap. The pure water is produced by reverse osmosis techniques designed

and optimized by us before it is stored in a tank.

Pure water can be sourced through a front valve of the tank or sent by a delivery pump to feed

instruments such as a glassware washing machine, or further processed by the Milli-Q Direct to produce ultrapure water
