Guide to Water Purification Systems

Primary Lab Use, ASTM Type III

Type III Lab Water Purification Systems include glassware washing, heating baths, filling auMillipore RIOStoclaves, feeding steam generators and environmental cabinets, hydroponics, or as a pre treatment to Type I Lab Water Systems. If you choose “Primary Lab Use, ASTM Type III” then you require a Type III Lab Water Purification System. Measured by ASTM standards specifications, Type II Lab Water will have a Resistivity @ 25°C  (megohms-cm) of 4.00 and a Conductivity @ 25°C (microhos/cm) of 0.250, the total Organic Carbons (u/L) will measure under 200.

General Lab Use, ASTM Type II

Type II Lab Water Purification Systems are used for reagent make-up or dilution, buffer and media preparation, general chemistry, qualitative analysis, cell culture incubators, weatherometers, synthesis. If you chose “General Lab Use, STAM Type II” then you require a Type II Lab Water Purifications System. Measured by ASTM standard specifications, Type II Lab Water will have a Resistivity @ 25°C (microhos/cm) of 1.00 and a Conductivity @ 25°C (microhos/cm) of 1.00, the Total Organic Carbons (u/L) will measure under 50.

Analytical Lab Use, ASTM Type I

Type I Lab Water Purification Systems are used for HPLC Mobile Phase preparation, blanks and sample dilution for GC, HPLC, AA, ICP-MS, molecular biology, microbiology, PCR, electrophoresis, DNA sequencing, mammalian cell culture, in-vitro fertilization, antibody production and blotting. If you chose “Analytical Lab Use, ASTM Type I” then you require a Type I Lab Water Purification System, measured by ASTM standards specifications, Type I Lab Water will have a Resistivity @ 25°C (megohms-cm) of 18.2 and a Conductivity @ 25°C (microhos/com) of 1.00, the Total Organic Carbons (u/L) will measure under 50. Type I Lab Water is often referred to as Ultrapure Lab Water.
