1.1 Product Features Accu500 lab water system is an integrated system which can produce ultrapure and reverse osmosis (RO) water from tap water directly. Quality of ultrapure water produced meets or exceeds ASTM, CLSI, CAP, and ISO Type I water standards.
Autoclave • solution Feed water for laboratory animals • As sample diluents for GC, HPLC, AA, ICP-MS and other analytical techniques • Preparation of buffer and culture media for mammalian cell culture • Preparation of molecular biology reagents, etc. www.eu.fishersci.com/fisherbrand...
1.4 Operation Accu500 integrated water systems produce ultrapure water directly from tap water. Most particles, ions and organic compounds are removed through the RO membrane. Water is stored in the water tank. When in need of ultrapure (UP) water, RO water flows through H Pack for further de-ionization, through...
