Choosing the right water purification system

Choosing the Right Water Purification System

When considering a water purification system, it's essential to understand the impurities typically found in tap water. These impurities can include ions, bacteria, organics, and various salts. Although these elements may be safe for drinking, they can pose significant issues for laboratory applications, potentially leading to clogged filters or detrimental effects on cell and tissue cultures. This is where a suitable water purification system becomes crucial.

Identifying Water Needs

Before selecting a purification system, it is vital to identify the specific type of water your laboratory requires. Do you need ultrapure water, pure water, or maybe reverse osmosis? While opting for the highest purity level might seem advantageous, ultrapure water is not necessarily suitable for every application. Analyzing the intended use of the water will aid in determining the necessary quality and, consequently, the right purification system.

Budget Considerations

Budget constraints play a crucial role in your selection process. It is important to take into account both the initial purchase price as well as ongoing maintenance costs. Be sure to ask the sales representative comprehensive questions to ensure that the system you choose aligns with your financial capabilities.

Evaluating Features for Workflow Efficiency

Different brands offer various models catering to specific purification types, which means you'll have ample options to choose from. For instance, brands like Thermo Fisher Scientific provide several water purification systems that produce high-quality Type 1 water, including the Barnstead GenPure xCAD Plus, MicroPure, and Smart2Pure Pro systems. Keeping your specific needs and workflow in mind will help you select the most suitable option efficiently.
