Ultrapure laboratory water

The Neptune Ultimate system is the latest addition to the Select Neptune range from Purite. Designed to provide ultrapure water for use in both analytical and molecular science laboratory procedures, the system offers efficient production rates of up to 2 L/min and incorporates ultraviolet photo-oxidation technology at 185 nm, bactericidal UV irradiation at 254 nm and nuclear-grade ion exchange polishing resin, ensuring ion-free ultrapure water at a resistivity of 18.2 MW.cm from a feedwater source of <20 µs/cm.

The reliable bench-mountable Ultimate unit combines the benefits of both Purite's Analytical and Life Service water purification systems, featuring a hollow fibre 0.05 µm ultra-microfilter and an integral deionising cartridge pack. Suitable for procedures that require low levels of DNAse, RNAse and TOC, the ultra-microfilter reduces endotoxin levels to <0.02.EU/mL and bacteria levels to <0.1 cfu/mL, while the replaceable cartridge pack provides a low TOC specification at <1 ppb.

The latest model also features an easy-to-view display to ensure quick and simple monitoring of system parameters, such as flow rate, water quality, temperature, TOC and pressure, while an automated disinfection routine ensures system hygiene still further.
