    FAQs

    What is a PURELAB flex 3 system?

    PURELAB flex 3 produces ultra pure water (Type I) directly from tap water.

    What type of applications are suitable for water dispensed from the PURELAB flex 3 system?

    PURELAB flex 3 is designed for a range of applications including electrochemistry, atomic spectroscopy, ic (Ion Chromatography), liquid chromatography, immunochemistry, hplc, molecular biology, plant tissue culture, electrophoresis & mammalian cell culture.

    What are the benefits of the PURELAB flex 3 system?

    PURELAB flex 3 offers customers a range of benefits from being intuitive and easy to use , easy to install and commission, flexible dispensing which allows customers to dispense water into a range of container sizes and shapes. It uses minimal lap space, is easy to operate and maintain and can be used for a wide range of lab applications. Other benefits includes real-time TOC monitoring which is calculated every 2-3 seconds to give a real time TOC reading for maximum assurance; water quality monitoring up to the point of dispense to help ensure valuable parameters are provided at all times and inbuilt periodic recirculation to help minimise biofilm build up which can affect some applications.

    What is the size of the storage reservoir in a PURELAB flex 3?

    PURELAB flex 3 is designed with an integrated 7 litre reservoir.

    What is the difference between a PURELAB flex 3 and 4?

    Unlike PURELAB flex 3, flex 4 does not have a RO membrane. It has to be fed with pre-treated water.
