Purite, a leading UK manufacturer of water purification equipment, has launched a new all-in-one purification system that offers laboratories dual grade quality water. Called Select Fusion, the new system is unique in that it has been designed to provide both Grade 2 purified water and ultrapure water (18.2 Megohm.cm) from a single unit, offering fast dispensing rates and enhanced flexibility for laboratories.

Incorporating an integral tank with a capacity of 20 litres, Select Fusion can supply Grade 2 water up to 14 litres per hour at 10°C for a range of general laboratory applications such as buffer and media preparation as well as reagent make up. In addition, the system is capable of providing up to 1 litre per minute of ultrapure water (18.2 Megohm.cm) by means of a high purity dispenser, for processes such as ion chromatography, AAS, ICP-MS and electrophoresis.

Traditionally, ultrapure water is provided by means of a reverse osmosis unit followed by a polisher; with Select Fusion, 18.2 Megohm water can be produced direct from the mains water supply, without the need for additional pre-treatment.

Available in three models - 40, 80 and 160 - the Select Fusion range incorporates integral TOC and resistivity monitoring with alarm points, and has constant water recirculation to maintain high water purity.

The Select Fusion all-in-one system has a small footprint and can be both wall or bench mounted, making it particularly suitable for use in laboratories where space is at a premium. The system features three dispense modes: latched, manual and preset with a menu driven graphical display with mimic, for ease of use. Furthermore, the system incorporates easy change, disposable purification packs, making the process of replacing consumables quick and simple.
