Standards institute places demands on water purity
When it comes to the quality of its laboratory consumables and supplies, the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) can demand nothing but the very highest standards
The TOC analysers require a regular calibration check to meet regulatory and validatory requirements.
For this role, a very high quality water system is needed, giving consistently low TOC levels with the flexibility to provide a suitable distribution system for rinsing and testing analysers.
It was for this role that Ionics chose to invest in the Purelab Ultra Analytic ultra-pure water system, fed by a Purelab Prima 60 primary grade system.
The systems have been installed at the company's European headquarters, based in Manchester, UK - a site that serves the entire European customer base in terms of distribution, technical support and QC.
The research lab undertakes a range of activities from instrument checks to QC performance assessment.
The major benefits of the Purelab Ultra Analytic include its provision of real-time TOC monitoring as a continual measure of organic purity and the multi-stage monitoring of resistivity provides greater economy, convenience and security.
By combining full spectrum UV photo-oxidation with ultra microfiltration, the Purelab Ultra Analytic produces precision-dispensed purified water with extremely low levels of organic and inorganic contaminants suitable for the most demanding ultra-trace applications.
Ionics was further assured of consistent, high-quality water by the automatic pre-rinse feature that purges static feedwater on start-up and a disinfection regime that is guaranteed fully effective by wetting all internal parts.
With validation a key requirement in many laboratories, the Ultra's validation support features, such as Pin-coded protected set points, cartridge traceability, real-time printed records and automatic calibration, provide real assistance in meeting GLP, FDA or other validation protocols.
For a busy laboratory such as Ionics's, the low maintenance demands of the Purelab Ultra Analytic provide a real bonus.
The front-entry doors permit direct access to the system, while the quick-fit connections allow fast and easy replacement of consumables.
Furthermore, the automated sanitisation procedure guarantees effective disinfection while freeing up time for more important laboratory tasks.
All in all, Ionics has found the Purelab Ultra Analytic to be a versatile system configured specifically to meet their water usage requirements and capable of producing reliable, very high-purity water that meets their demands for consistence and quality.
