• Resistivity: >10 MΩ·cm at 25 °C (typical, CLRW standard)
• Total Organic Carbon (TOC): <30 ppb (typical)
• Bacteria: <0.1 CFU/ml (with ultrafiltration)
• Endotoxin Levels: <0.25 EU/ml (meets immunoassay requirements)
• Particles: <0.05 µm (final filtration)
• Silica: <0.05 mg/L
• Feed Water Requirements: Potable supply, 100–2000 µS/cm conductivity, hardness <50 ppm

Operating Conditions

• Feedwater Temperature: 1–35 °C
• Ambient Operating Temperature: 5–35 °C
• Feedwater Pressure: 0.7–6.0 bar (10–90 psi)
• Electrical Requirements: 100–230 V AC, 50–60 Hz, auto-ranging
• Power Consumption: ~200–400 VA (depending on model size)
• Noise Level: <40 dBA (quiet, bench-friendly operation)

Reservoir & Distribution

• Integrated Storage Reservoir: 25 liters (wrap-around recirculation)
• Recirculation Loop: Maintains freshness, prevents stagnation, keeps bacteria/endotoxins suppressed
• Ultrafiltration Module: Removes pyrogens/endotoxins for sensitive assays
• Emergency Bypass: Ensures continuous analyzer supply during servicing

Dimensions & Weight

• Height: 820 mm (32.3 in) or 834 mm (32.8 in with castors)
• Width: 794 mm (31.3 in)
• Depth: 470 mm (18.5 in)
• Weight (Dry / Supply Only): ~45–53 kg (depending on model)
• Operational Weight (With Reservoir Full): ~76–84 kg

Installation Requirements

• Location: Bench-top, under-bench, or wall-mounted (with kit)
• Drain Connection: Required (for RO reject water)
• Ventilation Clearance: Minimum 50 mm at rear and sides
• Connections: Quick-connect tubing for feed, product, and drain lines

Monitoring & Control

• Digital Display: Real-time resistivity, reservoir level, and alarm status
• Alarms: Low feedwater pressure, cartridge exhaustion, pump failure, water quality drop
• System Safeguards: Automatic shut-off if water quality falls below threshold

Compliance & Standards

• Water Standard: CLRW (Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water, CLSI)
• Endotoxin Control: Meets immunoassay requirements with <0.25 EU/ml pyrogen levels
• Certifications: CE marked, conforms to EMC, Low Voltage, and Machinery Directives
• Quality Systems: Manufactured under ISO 9001 & ISO 14001
• Validation Support: IQ/OQ documentation available

Reliability & Service Features

• Endotoxin Barrier: Ultrafiltration guarantees low pyrogen levels
