Achieving the highest level of ionic and organic purity is vital for sensitive applications like HPLC, ICP-MS, and molecular biology. Professional pure and ultra-pure water systems utilize multi-stage purification, including deionization and UV oxidation, to produce Type I and Type II water. These advanced systems are foundational for efficient water purification and specialized environmental, soil, water, and food analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between pure and ultra-pure water?
Pure water (Type II) is suitable for general lab use and glassware rinsing, while ultra-pure water (Type I) has a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ·cm and is required for highly sensitive analytical methods.
2. How often should I replace Sartorius ARIUM cartridges?
Cartridge life depends on your feed water quality and usage volume; systems like the ARIUM Mini will typically alert you when it is time to install a new Scientific or Elemental kit.
3. Why is a UV lamp used in water purification?
UV lamps, such as those for the Sartorius ARIUM 611, use specific wavelengths (185/254 nm) to oxidize organic compounds and kill microorganisms, ensuring the water is free of TOCs and bacteria.
4. Do I need a softener cartridge for my system?
If your feed water has high mineral content, using a Sartorius ARIUM Softener Cartridge can prevent calcium carbonate build-up, protecting the more expensive internal purification membranes.
