| Use of On-Demand High Purity Water to Ensure Accurate TOC Analyses C. Weber, B. Gierszewski and S. Mabic International Labmate (2009) July, 32-33 2009 Show Abstract The organic content of water is referred to as the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration, reported in µg/L or parts per billion (ppb). TOC values below 10 ppb are expected in high purity water used for analytical purposes. To monitor TOC values in water samples in the laboratory, specific TOC analyzers have been designed and developed. These analyzers require running calibration curves and blanks with high purity water that has a very low TOC level, in order to provide meaningful and accurate results. Features of a TOC analyzer suitable for low-level TOC analyses are presented here. Results of blanks and calibration curves obtained using a water purification system delivering low TOC high purity water also are reported, as are data demonstrating how the quality of bottled water quickly degrades over time.

| Trace Analysis of Perchlorate: Analytical Method and Removal Efficiency of Purification Technologies E. Castillo, E. Riché, I. Kano and S. Mabic LCGC "The Peak" (2008) August, 21-30. 2008 Show Abstract Perchlorate recently has received attention as an environmental pollutant. Perchlorate may affect human health by interfering with iodide uptake by the thyroid gland and disrupting thyroid function. Perchlorate-free purified water is needed by laboratories analyzing samples for the presence of perchlorates. An ion chromatography method was developed to analyze perchlorate at the ng/L level in high purity water. The perchlorate-removal efficiency of various combinations of water purification technologies also was evaluated. Reverse osmosis alone removed 97 % of the perchlorate. Ion exchange resins and electrodeionization removed all the perchlorate present in water. Using a combination of purification technologies can provide perchlorate-free water suitable for ion chromatography analysis of perchlorate-contaminated samples. | Trace Analysis of Perchlorate: Analytical Method and Removal Efficiency of Purification Technologies

| Eradication of Blank Failures in the Five-Day Biochemical Oxygen Demand Test (BOD5) C. Fair and E. Riché Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation, WEFTEC 2008: Session 41 through Session 50 , pp. 3789-3799(11) 2008 Show Abstract The most difficult quality objective to achieve in the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) test is to limit oxygen depletion in the blank to less than 0.21 mg/L. Three problem areas contribute to poor blanks (those greater than 0.20 mg/L): poor dissolved oxygen measurement, insufficiently cleaned BOD5 bottles, and poor quality water. The combination of using a luminescent dissolved oxygen probe designed for the BOD5 test (LBOD), disposable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, and a water purification system eliminates blank failures, when used in conjunction with good laboratory practices.

Direct-Q® systems deliver both RO (Type 3) and ultrapure (Type 1) water directly from tap.
With the Direct-Q® range of water purification systems, you benefit from a choice of ultrapure water configurations. All systems produce Type 1 water (18.2 MΩ•cm at 25 °C ultrapure water) on demand from the RO stage, the first step in the purification chain. Depending on daily volume needs, different RO production flow rates are available (3, 5 & 8 L/h). Type 3 water is easily available from the 6L built-in storage tank, or the external 30/60 L storage tanks for the higher flow rates, or can be sent by a distribution pump to feed instruments such as a glassware washing machine.
For applications sensitive to organic contaminants and requiring ultrapure water, a UV version of the Direct-Q® system is also available. It incorporates a dual wavelength UV lamp for photooxidation of organic compounds. A final purification step at the point-of-dispense removes specific contaminants critical for your experiments. A range of purification cartridges and Application-Paks is available for you to select according to your requirements.
Simple handling & maintenance
- Easy installation anywhere in your laboratory with its compact design and optional remote dispenser. Either wall-mounted, on or under the bench, choose the setup that is most convenient for your daily work.
- Dispensing adapted to different size laboratory glassware at an instant flow rate of 0.5 L/min.
- Save time thanks to the volumetric function. It will automatically deliver the water volume that you requested.
- Easily insert your pack in one movement with the patented locking mechanism.
Quality certificates
For full confidence in your Direct-Q® system, it is delivered with a Certificate of Conformity ensuring that it has been built and tested fully assembled following internal Standard Operating Procedures. All Direct-Q® consumables are delivered with their Certificate of Quality. The manufacturing site is ISO® 9001 v.2000 and ISO® 140001 certified.
