Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Type I and Type II water?
Type I (ultrapure water) is required for highly sensitive applications such as HPLC or molecular biology. Type II (pure water) is excellent for general laboratory applications, buffer preparation, and feeding ultrapure water systems.
2. How often do the purification cartridges need to be changed?
The lifespan of the cartridges depends heavily on the feed water quality and the volume of water consumed. Modern PURELAB systems automatically display when a change is due via the screen.
3. Are MEDICA systems compatible with all clinical analyzers?
Yes, the MEDICA series was specifically developed to meet the high requirements of leading analyzer manufacturers, delivering constant flow rates with maximum microbiological purity.
4. Do I need a special water connection for an ELGA system?
Most systems can be connected to a standard potable water line. Depending on the raw water quality, pre-filtration (e.g., softening) may be recommended to extend the life of the internal filters.
