Used globally in pharmaceutical, life sciences, and research labs, proving its reliability and quality.
The closed dispensing system minimizes contamination risks, keeping water clean and safe.
Modern technology reduces power consumption, benefiting both the environment and your budget.
The PURELAB® Flex 3 System is excellent for various laboratory uses. This system can produce water ranging from RO Type III to ultrapure Type I, making it suitable for:
Real-Time TOC Monitoring means continuously (live) measuring the amount of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) present in water, providing instant data without any delay.
TOC refers to those carbon compounds that indicate organic contaminants, such as bacteria, dead cells, or organic chemicals.
In advanced systems like the ELGA PURELAB Flex 3, there is a UV oxidation sensor that breaks down organic compounds in the water and measures their TOC levels.
This process is automated and continuous, so the lab always knows the current purity level of the water. Real-time TOC monitoring reduces the risk of contamination and increases trust in water quality for high-precision experiments.
One of the standout features of the PURELAB® Flex 3 System is its real-time Total Organic Carbon (TOC) monitoring capability.
This continuous monitoring ensures that water purity remains consistent throughout your operations, providing reliable quality assurance for sensitive applications where even minor contamination could compromise results.
The system delivers ultrapure Type I water with a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ-cm, meeting the most stringent requirements for laboratory applications.
This exceptional level of purity is essential for sensitive analytical techniques and critical life science research where water quality directly impacts experimental outcomes.
| Application | Why is Ultrapure Water Necessary? | Brief Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Chemistry | To avoid contaminants and ensure accurate results | Reduces interference in testing and analysis |
| Life Sciences (DNA, RNA, Cell Culture) | To prevent contamination in sensitive experiments | Keeps cells and genetic material safe |
| Pharmaceuticals | To ensure the quality and safety of medicines | Prevents impurities in drug formulation |
| Clinical Diagnostics | To increase the reliability of test results | Ensures accuracy in blood, urine, and other tests |
| Semiconductor Manufacturing | Purity is essential when making microchips | Prevents circuit defects |
| HPLC/GC (Chromatography) | For precise separation and detection | Gives clear peaks and reduces background noise |
| Environmental Testing | For accurate detection of trace elements | Prevents contamination in water and soil analysis |
| Spectroscopy | To improve the accuracy of results | Reduces interference in light absorption/emission |
Note:
Ultrapure water is used wherever there is a need to avoid contamination and achieve precise results.
Maintenance of the Flex 3 System is simple, efficient, and user-friendly, but there are some essential things every lab user should know to ensure the system always delivers top performance.
The PURELAB® Flex 3 System provides reliable and high-quality water for laboratories. It delivers pure water from Type III to Type I, offers real-time monitoring, and is very easy to use. For labs where water quality matters, this is an excellent choice.
