On the 30th and 31st of October 2024, Purite will be showcasing its cutting-edge water purification systems at Lab Innovations at the Birmingham NEC, Stand H54. Attendees will have the opportunity to see the Purite Fusion 160 IT in action – a dual-quality water purification unit that offers both Type 1 ultrapure water and Type 2 water in one compact, efficient system. WhethWer you are looking for a benchtop solution or need a centralised distribution system, the Purite team will be on hand to discuss tailored options that suit the diverse requirements of today’s laboratories.
Tackling common laboratory water challenges with confidence
Water purity is fundamental to achieving accurate and reproducible results across a variety of lab settings. Laboratories must constantly balance their need for ultrapure water for critical assays and general-purpose water for routine tasks. Managing multiple systems to meet these dual needs can be costly and inefficient, taking up valuable lab space and requiring ongoing maintenance of consumables.
The Purite Fusion 160 IT addresses these challenges by providing a compact, all-in-one system capable of delivering Type 1 ultrapure water (up to 18.2MΩ.cm) from the point of use (POU) for high-sensitivity tasks, while simultaneously offering Type 2 water from a built-in 20-litre tank for routine lab applications. This combination helps labs to free up space, reduce operational costs (OPEX), and simplify their workflows – delivering confidence that water quality is always under control.
Seamlessly fitting into lab workflows
In today’s fast-paced labs, efficiency is key. Technicians routinely switch between precision-driven tasks such as HPLC, PCR, and cell culture – all of which require Type 1 ultrapure water – and less demanding applications like rinsing glassware, preparing buffers, and diluting reagents. The Purite Fusion 160 IT is designed to meet these diverse requirements seamlessly, ensuring that technicians have access to the right quality of water, exactly when they need it.
The Fusion’s compact footprint (440mm x 560mm) helps to optimise valuable bench space, making it an ideal choice for laboratories with limited room. The dual availability of Type 1 ultrapure and Type 2 water from a single system also simplifies consumable management, helping reduce downtime and eliminating the need to maintain multiple systems for different water needs.
Optimising water purification: Key features of the Purite Fusion 160 IT
The Fusion 160 IT model offers advanced water treatment technology, ensuring the highest standards of purity and reliability in every drop. Here’s how the system works to guarantee consistent water quality:
- Carbon pre-treatment removes chlorine and organic compounds to protect subsequent purification steps.
- Reverse osmosis (RO) eliminates particulates, ions, and dissolved solids from the feed water.
- Primary deionisation reduces ionic contaminants, preparing the water for high-purity applications.
- Polishing deionisation with high-grade nuclear resin further removes any remaining ions for ultrapure water.
- Ultrafiltration captures particles, micro-organisms, RNase, DNase, and endotoxins.
- UV photo-oxidation at 185nm reduces total organic carbon (TOC), crucial for sensitive analytical techniques.
- LED UV disinfection at the dispense point ensures that water remains free of microorganisms.
This robust, multi-step purification process means laboratories can rely on a consistent supply of Type 1 ultrapure water for their most demanding applications, while still having access to Type 2 water for more general tasks like washing and equipment sterilisation.
Reduced costs and enhanced productivity
One of the major benefits of the Purite Fusion is its ability to lower operational costs (OPEX) while maintaining high levels of performance. By integrating both Type 1 and Type 2 water production in a single unit, the system reduces the need for multiple water purification systems, cutting down on consumables and maintenance requirements.
The Fusion 160 IT is built for reliability and durability, ensuring it can withstand the daily rigours of laboratory work. The reduced frequency of consumable changes, along with the support of Purite’s expert technical team, ensures laboratories can continue their work uninterrupted, with fewer instances of downtime.
Flexibility to meet lab-specific needs
At Lab Innovations 2024, the Purite team will also be available to discuss solutions beyond benchtop systems. Whether your lab requires a centralised distribution system or a more complex engineered solution, Purite’s range of water purification technologies can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.
For laboratories with higher throughput needs, the Fusion 320 IT model offers a greater RO permeate flow rate (up to 36 l/h at 15°C), giving labs the flexibility to scale their water purification as needed.
Building confidence with Purite’s solutions
Ultimately, the Purite Fusion 160 IT is more than just a water purification system – it’s a tool that empowers laboratories to operate with confidence. The system’s consistent performance, reduced maintenance burden, and support from Purite’s highly-rated service team make it a reliable partner for any laboratory.
By delivering reproducible results, the Fusion enables technicians to focus on their scientific work, free from concerns about water purity. With fewer consumables and less downtime, laboratory managers can be confident they are choosing a system that supports both their technical and financial goals.
