Laboratories across the world depend on high-quality water for a wide range of applications, from rinsing glassware to supporting high-precision analytical procedures.
The PURELAB Quest® System is a compact, all-in-one water purification solution designed specifically for modern labs that require ultrapure (Type I), pure (Type II), and general-grade (Type III) water from a single unit.
In this comprehensive review, we will explore its features, benefits, specifications, and why it is increasingly becoming a go-to system for laboratories of all sizes.
The PURELAB Quest® System is a 3-in-1 lab water purification unit developed by ELGA Lab Water. It provides three grades of water essential for different lab applications in a compact and affordable design.
This system is designed for daily lab usage and supports functions ranging from buffer preparation to sensitive molecular biology applications.
The system is compact, measuring just 232 mm in width. It can be placed on a bench or wall-mounted to save valuable lab space.
Built-in monitoring tracks water quality, consumable life, and system status. Notifications ensure that replacements and maintenance are handled proactively.
The PURELAB Quest® operates at low power consumption levels, making it ideal for energy-conscious labs.
The system offers a user-friendly interface, easy-to-change cartridges, and automatic sanitization, reducing manual workload and downtime.
Provides ultrapure water for methods like HPLC, ion chromatography, and spectroscopy.
Ensures RNase/DNase-free water for sensitive applications including PCR, cloning, and sequencing.
Delivers consistent, high-purity water for preparing culture media and buffer solutions.
Type II and Type III water are perfect for routine washing, autoclaving, and feeding water baths.
| Specification | Type I Water | Type II Water | Type III Water |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resistivity | 18.2 MΩ.cm | >1 MΩ.cm | <20 µS/cm |
| Total Organic Carbon (TOC) | <5 ppb (UV) / <30 ppb | <50 ppb | <200 ppb |
| Bacterial Count (TVC) | <0.1 cfu/ml | <100 cfu/ml | <1000 cfu/ml |
| Endotoxin | <0.001 EU/ml (UV only) | N/A | N/A |
| Flow Rate | Up to 1.2 L/min | Up to 1.2 L/min | Up to 10 L/hr |
Maintaining the PURELAB Quest® is simple, with consumables designed for easy replacement. The system features:
Automatic alerts guide users when parts need replacing, minimizing downtime and error.
The PURELAB Quest® is suited for:
The PURELAB Quest® System is an excellent water purification solution for laboratories, providing three types of water from a single unit. It saves both cost and space while delivering reliable performance. Its smart monitoring system and low maintenance make it easy to use.
Whether setting up a new lab or upgrading an existing one, the PURELAB Quest® is a long-term investment in quality and convenience.
1. What makes the PURELAB Quest® different from other lab water purification systems?
The PURELAB Quest® provides Type I, II, and III water from a single compact unit. It saves space, reduces operational costs, and simplifies lab workflows by eliminating the need for multiple purification units.
2. Can the PURELAB Quest® System support sensitive applications like PCR or HPLC?
Yes, the system produces ultrapure Type I water with 18.2 MΩ·cm resistivity and low TOC levels, making it suitable for high-sensitivity procedures such as PCR, HPLC, and molecular biology experiments.
3. How often do I need to replace consumables in the PURELAB Quest® System?
The PURELAB Quest® delivers three water types in one compact unit, supports sensitive applications with ultrapure water, and has consumables that need replacing every 6 to 24 months with automatic maintenance alerts.
PURELAB QUEST
Quest is designed for small laboratories and satellite spaces that need Type I, Type II and Type III water from one compact tap-fed platform. Confirm daily volume, Type I organic requirements, feedwater and installation before specifying the exact configuration.
