The document describes Labconco's WaterPro water purification systems. It discusses different types of water contaminants and levels of purity. The WaterPro systems include reverse osmosis stations and polishing stations. The polishing stations can produce Type I water and are suitable for analytical instruments and life sciences. The document outlines the purification technologies and features of the different models. These include carbon filtration, deionization, ultrafiltration, and UV treatment. Accessories like storage tanks and stands are also mentioned. Customers can request a free water quality analysis from Labconco.

Water Contaminants
Particulates include silt, plumbing pipe debris and
colloids.
Dissolved inorganics (solids and gases) includes
calcium and magnesium ions dissolved from rock
formations.
Dissolved organics may include pesticides,
herbicides, gasoline and decayed plant and animal
tissues.
Microorganisms include bacteria, protozoa and
algae
Pyrogens have a detrimental or lethal effect on
tissue cultures.

5. WaterPro® Water Purification Systems
Types of Water
Type I (NCCLS)
Purest water achievable for analytical work
Measured by electrical resistivity – lack of
ion activity…16-18 megohms
Uses:
HPLC, Ion Chromatography, Trace Metal
Analysis, Immunology, Cell Culture, SNA
studies

6. WaterPro® Water Purification Systems
Types of Water
Type II (NCCLS)
Test methods in which the presence of bacteria
can be tolerated
General reagents without preservatives,
microbiology systems
Test methods for which requirements leading to
the choice of Type I or Special Purpose waters do
not apply
Stains and dyes for histology, general reagents with
preservatives and microbiology systems (to be
sterilized)

7. WaterPro® Water Purification Systems
Types of Water
Type III (NCCLS):
Less pure than Type I, but with 90-99%
of contaminants removed
Type IV (NCCLS):
Similar to NCCLS Type III
Uses:
Glassware washing, media preparation,
feedwater for polishing to Type I quality

WaterPro Reverse Osmosis Stations
Timed dispense for unattended operation
Large capacity white polypropylene bowls
require infrequent changes
Supplies pure water to a dispensing valve
or optional gun
Automatic flush valve extends RO
membrane life
Internal pressure gauge provides reading
from 0 to 160 psi of RO-purified water

11. WaterPro® Water Purification Systems
RO Purification
Technologies/Features:
Prefilter removes particulates larger than
five microns from the feedwater protecting
the reverse osmosis membrane.
Carbon Filter removes organics and
chlorine from the feedwater. Provides
protection for the reverse osmosis
membrane.
Reverse Osmosis Membrane is a thin film
composite membrane that removes up to
99% of inorganics, organics and colloids.
