Evoqua Water Technologies is a global leader in helping municipalities and industrial customers protect and improve the world’s most fundamental natural resource: water. With a legacy spanning over 100 years through its predecessor brands, Evoqua has become a powerhouse in water treatment innovation. In 2023, Evoqua was acquired by Xylem, creating the world’s largest pure-play water technology company. In the scientific sector, Evoqua is renowned for its high-performance laboratory water purification systems that meet the most stringent international standards, including ASTM Type 1, ISO 3696, and CLSI. Their mission is to provide "Transforming Water. Enriching Life," ensuring that researchers have access to a reliable, consistent supply of ultra-pure water. By focusing on sustainable design and advanced filtration technologies, Evoqua supports critical applications in analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics across the globe.
The Evoqua range at LabFriend features professional water purification solutions, headlined by the LaboStar® and UltraClear® series of benchtop systems. These units are designed to produce Type 1 ultra-pure water with extremely low TOC levels, essential for sensitive techniques like HPLC, ICP-MS, and cell culture. For general laboratory needs, the brand provides advanced distillation and deionization tools, including reverse osmosis (RO) systems and Type 2 pure water stations for glassware rinsing and buffer preparation. Their portfolio also includes high-quality consumables and cartridges, specifically engineered to remove ions, organics, and microorganisms from tap water. To support high-throughput environments, Evoqua offers modular systems that can be integrated into central lab water loops. By choosing Evoqua through LabFriend, you benefit from competitive pricing and fast shipping on world-class water technology engineered for precision and ease of maintenance.
Why Choose Evoqua for Your Laboratory?
- Unmatched Water Purity: Systems utilize a multi-stage process involving reverse osmosis, electrodeionization (EDI), and ultrafiltration to deliver water with resistivity up to 18.2 MΩ-cm.
- Integrated TOC Monitoring: Many Evoqua units feature real-time Total Organic Carbon (TOC) monitoring, giving researchers absolute confidence in the purity of their water for organic analysis.
- Sustainable & Cost-Effective: Designed with long-life cartridges and energy-efficient operation to minimize the total cost of ownership and reduce environmental impact.
- User-Friendly Interface: Features intuitive controllers and flexible dispensers that allow for precise, drop-by-drop volumetric dispensing to prevent waste and splashing.
- Compact Benchtop Footprint: Systems like the LaboStar® series are engineered to be space-saving, providing high-purity water without taking up valuable laboratory bench space.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 water?
Type 1 (Ultra-Pure) water is used for highly sensitive analytical applications like mass spectrometry, while Type 2 (Pure) water is suitable for general lab applications, such as buffer preparation and feeding autoclaves.
2. How often do I need to change the filter cartridges in my Evoqua system?
Cartridge life depends on your feed water quality and daily usage. Most systems feature an automatic monitoring system that alerts you when the resistivity drops or when the annual maintenance interval is reached.
3. Can Evoqua systems be connected directly to a tap water supply?
Yes, many Evoqua models are designed as "Plug-and-Play" units that can be connected directly to a standard potable tap water supply, featuring integrated pre-treatment to protect the internal membranes.
4. Does Evoqua offer UV lamp technology for water purification?
Absolutely. Evoqua utilizes dual-wavelength UV lamps (185/254 nm) to effectively reduce TOC levels and ensure the water is free from bacteria and other microorganisms before dispensing.
