Almost all laboratories have a use for purified water, from dishwashers and environmental chambers, autoclave water supply, cell culture and in-vitro fertilisation
Almost all laboratories have a use for purified water, which is why Sartorius has introduced the Arium range of ultrapure water systems.
All models in the range offer the highest levels of water purity, utilising advanced filtration technologies to provide water quickly and efficiently at the point of use. Ultrapure water avoids the risks of contamination and toxicological influence in the laboratory and increases the chance of reproducibility, with no interfering substances.
It is used in a wide variety of tasks, from dishwashers and environmental chambers, autoclave water supply, cell culture and in-vitro fertilisation.
Users need simple installation use and maintenance, fast water delivery, high purity and low running costs, all of which were taken into account when developing the Arium range.
Sartorius used its 80 years' experience in the development of filtration technology to design cost effective systems that perform to the highest standards while remaining economically priced.
The Arium 611 range contains a number of systems utilising various methods of purification, based around a unique cartridge design, with a larger volume of resin and activated carbon to increase binding capacity and offer a longer service life.
The Arium 611 includes the standard DI model, which it says produces water of a quality better than many competitors' more sophisticated and often more expensive systems.
The range also includes models featuring additional ultrafiltration or an ultra violet lamp.
The patented cartridge purification recipe gives Rnase and Dnase-free water with low endotoxins, with the UV/UF model (Arium 611VF) delivering water at up to 1.5 litres per minute.
The UV models feature a horizontally mounted UV lamp, which provides more effective oxidation of organics and thus lower TOC (Total Organic Carbon) than is achievable with a vertically mounted lamp.
Other useful features include a removable display and dispenser for flexibility of location and prompts to help guide users through routine tasks Also available is the Arium 613 RO, which produces up to 15 litres of RO water per hour.
With up to 55% product recovery, the Arium 613 uses and rejects less water.
With no solenoid valves there is a reduction in maintenance costs and increased reliability.
The 'plug and play' concept with a tank included means only water and power need to be provided. Arium systems are said to offer the highest purification capacity available to the laboratory market today which, together with a patented carbon-resin combination, enables users to produce ultrapure water at as little as 40% of the leading competitors costs.
