Water is a vital reagent in the laboratory and contains assorted kinds of impurities and contaminants like particulates, inorganics, organics, microorganisms, and pyrogens. These contaminants can adversely affect testing results while undertaking your laboratory processes.
Through our partnership with Livam, we allow you to purchase water distillers and purification systems at affordable prices.
Purchasing the right water purification system is a major step. Below are the factors that must be considered in the selection process:
Purification methods
You can use various types of water purification techniques depending on the specific goal you have. For example, ion exchange is needed for removing inorganics, and highly organic compounds as well as dissolved gasses such as CO2. Suspended particles and colloids need ultra- or microporous filtration, and reverse osmosis is essential for the removal of dissolved organic and inorganic compounds. Electrodeionization removes ionic charged articles, including inorganic and organic compounds.
Water usage
To get the right purification system you will need to determine the water volume you will require for your daily use, for variable water demand, flexibility and modularity are also important considerations. Therefore, it is important to know in advance how much water will be used per hour, per day, or per week, and the locations in the laboratory in which the purified water will be used.
Cost
The budget should be generally considered at the point of purchase to ensure not only the ability to purchase the water purification system, but also the ability to buy supplies and accessories involved in the operation of the system and to maintain a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure that the system remains operational.
Nesvax offers all end-users quality and thorough training and maintenance of the equipment after installation. We pride ourselves in giving the technical support a laboratory needs when dealing with new equipment.
System features
There are certain important features you will need to identify in a water purification system are:
- Footprint and weight
- Wall-mount, bench, or floor installation
- Facility for hands-free operation or by foot pedal
- Availability of built-in life-cycle alarms and calibrators
- System monitoring and compatibility with Windows or Mac operating systems
- Availability of a USB connection, PIN-coded access to software, or data capture
- Real-time total organic carbon monitoring
- Auto-volume dispense, variable flow rate dispense, and locked dispense
- Purity monitoring to point of use.
