Elga has introduced a Type II electrodeionisation (EDI) water purification system.
The Purelab Pulse has been developed to produce consistently high-purity water at economical running costs for a range of applications, including cell culture and media preparation.
The water purification system incorporates the recirculation of purified water up to the dispense point.
The Pulse technology, combined with extended intervals between sanitisation, reduces maintenance time and makes the Purelab Pulse an environmentally friendly system, according to the company.
Elga's Pulse technology integrates EDI, which combines ion-exchange resins and ion-selective membranes with direct current to remove ionised impurities from water.
It is complemented by pre-treatment, reverse osmosis and a 254nm ultraviolet lamp to produce Type II pure water that meets and exceeds ASTMa D1193 and ISOa 3696, as well as European, US and Japanese pharmacopeia standards.
The Purelab Pulse can be fitted with a point-of-use Biofilter to deliver bacteria levels of less than 1CFU/10ml.
The system has been designed to fit into any piece of laboratory environment and is claimed to be simple to operate and maintain.
It can be wall or bench mounted and can be fitted with the company's wrap-around reservoir to save space.
