Ultrapure water (UPW) is water that has been purified to high levels of specification. As a standard, the water contains only H20, as well as balanced number of H+ and OH- ions. It has a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ.cm, TOC < 10 ppb and bacterial count <10 CFU/ml. To be classified as ultrapure, water must not contain any detectable endotoxins. This level of purity makes it a perfect reagent for laboratory work.

What is Ultrapure Water Used for?
UPW is used in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries the most, though it’s an ideal solution for any work in the lab. Its level of purification makes it versatile for highly sensitive applications.
Applications that use UPW include:
- High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
- Liquid Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)
- Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
- Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS)
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
- Immunochemistry (ICC)
- Mammalian cell culture
- Clinical analysers
- Trace Analysis
What is YBOTECH Ultrapure Water System?
YBOTECH Ultrapure Water System with 3 way water quality sensor, 2 way flow sensor for quantified dispensing, and 2 stage RO system, which is top choice of high flux ultrapure water for high grade experiments. With tap water inlet, its output ranges from 10 to 1000 liters/hour. It can produce 2nd stage RO water and ultrapure water. The 2nd stage RO water’s conductivity can stay 1-5μs/cm, and the ultrapure water’s resistivity absolutely reaches to 18.2MΩ.cm. It completely meets the highest grade I standard of ASTM, CAP, CLSI, EP and USP.
