Central water purification system for laboratories

Ensure consistent supply of ultrapure water essential for critical laboratory processes, supporting high-precision analyses and experiments with optimized purity control and reliable distribution across multiple laboratory spaces.

Purifies and Distributes Ultrapure Water

The CENTRA R200 from ELGA LabWater is a centralized water purification and distribution system engineered to deliver consistent purity for diverse laboratory and industrial applications. Using an integrated reverse osmosis and deionization process, it ensures continuous operation with a capacity of up to 200 liters per hour. This system is optimized for biopharmaceuticals, clinical biochemistry, and microbiology, producing high-purity water crucial for monoclonal antibodies and clinical diagnostic reagents. It features a compact design for flexible installation and is compatible with a range of water distribution setups, reducing the need for extensive pipework. PLC-controlled automation offers seamless integration with laboratory management systems, while energy consumption is minimized through optimized motor control. Built from corrosion-resistant materials, the CENTRA R200 meets stringent compliance standards for pharmaceutical and biotech industries and supports easy maintenance with accessible consumable components and system sanitization protocols.
