All life science laboratories require a constant supply of high-purity water in order to perform their operations effectively. The validity of the results is directly affected by the quality of the water that has been used. Whether you work in histology, DNA sequencing, tissue culture or reproduction via in vitro fertilisation, the Purite Fusion 160 IT water purification system can provide you with Type I and Type II purified water, depending on the type of water your laboratory water needs. In this blog post, we will discuss the innovative features of Purite Fusion 160 IT. This can be an ideal solution for labs in terms of increasing productivity and reducing environmental impact.
Dual water quality: meeting diverse laboratory needs
In different laboratories, there are different requirements for the purity of water that need to be met. The Purite Fusion 160 IT provides dual water quality technology with Type I water (18.2MΩ.cm) for those applications that require high purity water, and Type II water (1-10MΩ.cm) for those who require a less demanding water quality.
- Type I Water: Used for biological sciences experiments, such as DNA sequencing, IVF, and molecular biology.
- Type II Water: Suitable for less sensitive operations, such as buffer preparation, glass washing and media formulation.
There is no doubt that having both types of water on hand from the same unit can be incredibly time-saving and convenient for busy laboratories.
Space-saving, flexible design: fits any lab environment
Purite Fusion’s compact and modular design makes it a perfect solution for all laboratories where space is also at a premium and maintaining a high level of efficiency is important. With both benchtop and wall mounting options available, the system is able to blend in with any lab design.
- Optional Remote Dispense Pod: In large labs, this enables water to be dispensed at multiple locations, reducing disruptions and improving workflow.
- External Storage Tanks: Support continuous water supply during peak demand with tanks up to 100 litres.
Advanced water purification technology
Using reverse osmosis (RO), carbon pre-treatment, and deionisation, the Purite Fusion removes more than 98% of minerals and 99% of bacteria. RO removes salt from water through a membrane, while deionisation removes minerals from purified water. The combined effects of these measures prevent contaminants from influencing experiments.
- Dual Wavelength UV Irradiation: 185nm/254nm UV irradiation kills all organic contaminants and bacteria in the water to give the purest water for delicate diagnosis and scientific research.
- wt Ultrafiltration: By eliminating endotoxins, RNase, and DNase, this internal ultrafiltration system prevents interference with cell culture and molecular biology experiments.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
Additionally, labs want to be eco-friendlier and more cost-efficient. Purite Fusion has an intelligent energy-saving standby mode that uses little power when it’s not in use and it’s cartridges are compatible with green lab initiatives.
User-friendly interface and monitoring
Designed to be simple to operate, the Purite Fusion is equipped with an LCD colour touch screen monitor that displays instantaneous information about water quality parameters, such as TOC (Total Organic Carbon), resistivity (MΩ.cm), temperature and flow rate. With this real-time data, you will be able to adjust the water quality in real-time in order to achieve the best results.
- WiFi-enabled remote monitoring: This feature allows lab managers to adjust performance and troubleshoot remotely.
- USB data download: Save time and improve the performance of your system by downloading event data and software updates via the USB port.
High dispensing capacity and flexibility
The Purite Fusion 160 IT features a high flow rate of up to 2 litres per minute, which makes it ideal for labs with high volume requirements. Depending on your needs, you can choose between manual dispensing and volumetric dispensing.
- Integral 20L Storage: During busy periods, this water purification system provides an immediate supply of purified water from the internal 20L storage tank.
Built-in safety and maintenance features
There are two different alarms – an audible alarm as well as a visual alarm – that alert the user if the water quality is poor or the system is malfunctioning, while a semi-automatic cleaning cycle makes sure that the system remains free of deposits and still runs smoothly over time.
- Integrated TOC indicator: A TOC indicator monitors the total organic carbon within the water and helps to maintain the highest purity.
- UV LED Disinfection: This technology allows for a second dose of disinfection to be delivered just prior to dispensing to prevent recontamination.
Purite Fusion 160 IT is one of the most versatile, precise and durable lab water purification systems. With the ability to deliver both Type I and Type II water from a single unit, in conjunction with advanced filtration technologies and smart energy-saving features, this system ensures that labs can operate at their optimum level of efficiency, while always maintaining the highest standards of water purity possible. It offers flexible installation, intuitive monitoring, as well as eco-friendly features that make it the top-of-the-line solution for labs of all sizes.
