MEDICA® 7/15

MEDICA-R/D 7/15
Compact Power, Maximum Reliability

The MEDICA-R/D 7/15 range is designed for clinical laboratories requiring a dedicated, reliable supply of CLRW-grade water (Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water) for single analyzers with low-to-medium throughput.

The R models (MEDICA-R 7 / R 15) provide reservoir storage with direct dispense.

The D models (MEDICA-D 7 / D 15) integrate a distribution pump to deliver water directly into the analyzer at controlled pressure and flow.

Compact, quiet, and easy to install, the MEDICA-R/D 7/15 is ideal for bench-top or under-bench use in labs where space and reliability are equally important.
