Overview
The Q Pack T2 Ultra-Purification Cartridge (CYGARDT2X1) is a single-use, pre-assembled purification module engineered for integration into laboratory-scale ultra-pure water (UPW) distribution systems. Designed specifically for post-deionization polishing, it receives feed water with conductivity ≤ 1 µS/cm (typical DI water output) and delivers Type I ultrapure water compliant with ASTM D1193-20, ISO 3696:1987, and CLSI EP21-A guidelines. The cartridge employs a multi-stage purification architecture combining sub-micron depth filtration, mixed-bed ion exchange resin with ultra-low leachable content, and integrated endotoxin-removing activated carbon media—optimized to reduce total organic carbon (TOC) to < 5 ppb, resistivity to ≥ 18.2 MΩ·cm at 25 °C, and bacterial load to < 0.1 CFU/mL. Its compact, sanitary-fit design minimizes dead-leg volume and supports rapid, tool-free installation in point-of-use or loop-based UPW networks.
Key Features
- Pre-validated, factory-packed configuration ensures batch-to-batch consistency and eliminates on-site resin packing errors
- Integrated 0.45 µm hydrophilic PES membrane final filter certified for bacterial retention (≥ 7-log reduction per ASTM F838)
- Mixed-bed ion exchange resin with ultra-low sodium and silica breakthrough characteristics—tested for > 1,200 L cumulative throughput at 1.0 L/min flow rate under standard DI feed conditions
- Endotoxin-adsorbing activated carbon matrix validated per USP for pyrogen reduction ≥ 3-log
- Non-leaching polypropylene housing compliant with USP Class VI and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for food-contact applications
- Integrated RFID tag (optional) for digital traceability, including manufacturing date, lot number, and expiration tracking
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The Q Pack T2 is intended exclusively for use with deionized (DI) water feed streams meeting minimum quality specifications: conductivity ≤ 1.0 µS/cm, TOC ≤ 50 ppb, and free chlorine < 0.05 ppm. It is not designed for direct connection to municipal tap water, RO permeate, or seawater-derived feeds. All materials of construction comply with ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (sensitization/irritation), and EU Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 for materials in contact with water intended for human consumption. System integration supports GLP/GMP environments through documented change control, validation support packages (VSP), and compatibility with IQ/OQ protocols per Annex 15 of the EU GMP Guide.
Software & Data Management
While the Q Pack T2 is a passive, non-electronic component, its operational lifecycle integrates seamlessly into digital water management ecosystems. When deployed with Deepflow’s AquaTrack™ monitoring platform (sold separately), cartridge installation triggers automatic asset registration, real-time usage logging, and predictive replacement alerts based on cumulative flow volume and pressure differential trends. Audit trails—including operator ID, timestamped installation/removal events, and calibration certificate references—are stored in accordance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and signatures. Raw data export supports CSV and XML formats compatible with LIMS (e.g., LabWare, STARLIMS) and MES platforms.
Applications
- HPLC, UHPLC, and LC-MS mobile phase preparation requiring low-ppb TOC and silica-free eluents
- Cell culture media formulation where endotoxin and trace metal contamination must be minimized
- Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) blank integrity assurance
- Pharmaceutical process water sampling and stability testing per ICH Q5C and USP
- Microelectronics wafer rinsing validation studies demanding particle counts < 1 particle/mL at ≥ 0.2 µm (per ISO 14644-1 Class 5)
FAQ
What is the recommended maximum operating pressure and flow rate?
Maximum inlet pressure: 6 bar (87 psi); optimal flow range: 0.5–2.0 L/min. Exceeding 2.0 L/min may compromise TOC and endotoxin removal efficiency.
Does the Q Pack T2 require regeneration or cleaning-in-place (CIP)?
No. It is a single-use, disposable cartridge. Regeneration is neither supported nor validated; replacement is mandatory upon reaching manufacturer-specified service life or pressure differential > 1.5 bar.
How is shelf life determined and monitored?
Shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture when stored unopened at 5–30 °C, protected from UV light and ambient humidity. Expiration is tracked via printed lot label and optional RFID tag.
Can this cartridge be used in sterile filtration applications?
No. While it incorporates a 0.45 µm final filter, it is not sterilized by gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide and lacks aseptic packaging certification. It is intended for purification—not terminal sterilization.
Is validation documentation available for regulatory submissions?
Yes. A full Validation Support Package (VSP) is provided, including material certifications, extractables testing reports (per USP ), microbial challenge data, and installation qualification (IQ) templates.
