The ELGA PURELAB Range

Význam tématu

Access to high-quality water is critical in analytical chemistry and life sciences. Trace contaminants in water can compromise analytical results, damage sensitive instruments and undermine experimental reproducibility.

Cíle a přehled studie

This document presents ELGA’s PURELAB® water purification portfolio, showcasing the Quest, Flex and Chorus product lines. It describes their capabilities to deliver Type I (ultrapure), Type II (pure) and Type III (laboratory grade) water to support diverse research and quality-control applications.

Použitá metodika a instrumentace

Purification strategies combine several technologies in modular assemblies:

• Reverse Osmosis (RO) modules for bulk removal of ions and organics
• Activated carbon cartridges for chlorine and organic removal
• Ion-exchange and electrodeionization (EDI) packs for high resistivity water
• Ultraviolet (UV-C) lamps for TOC reduction and microbial control
• Microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes for bacteria, endotoxin and particulate removal
• Storage reservoirs with advanced vent filters and recirculation pumps
• Digital sensors for real-time resistivity, TOC and temperature monitoring

Hlavní výsledky a diskuse

The PURELAB® range achieves up to 18.2 MΩ·cm resistivity and TOC levels below 5 ppb for Type I water, with flow rates from 1.5 l/min to 720 l/day. Integrated digital diagnostics and USB data logging allow performance validation and remote monitoring. Modular, space-saving designs support wall or bench mounting. Sustainability features include use of reclaimed plastics, energy-efficient components and minimized water waste.

Přínosy a praktické využití metody

Primary applications include:

• HPLC, UHPLC, GC, GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP-MS and AAS mobile phases and sample preparation
• Molecular biology workflows (PCR, DNA/RNA sequencing) and cell culture media
• General laboratory tasks: glassware rinsing, autoclave feed, water baths, buffer and pH solution preparation
• Pharmaceutical quality control compliant with USP 643/645 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements

Budoucí trendy a možnosti využití

Future directions include deeper automation and IoT integration for predictive maintenance, AI-driven optimization of purification performance, enhanced in-line sensor technology for real-time analytics, and continued development of eco-friendly consumables and energy-efficient system designs.
