Overview
The S Pack RO3 Purification Cartridge is a high-efficiency, three-stage reverse osmosis (RO) consumable module engineered for integration into ultra-pure water systems serving analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical QC environments, and research facilities requiring Type I ultrapure water per ISO 3696:1987 and ASTM D1193-20. Designed as a drop-in replacement for compatible Deepflow ultra-pure water platforms, the cartridge incorporates sequentially arranged RO membranes—each stage optimized for distinct contaminant removal profiles—to achieve >99.8% rejection of dissolved ions, colloids, microorganisms, and organic molecules with molecular weight >100 Da. Its robust polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) membrane architecture ensures stable flux performance under variable feed water conditions (TDS ≤ 500 ppm, pH 4–11, temperature 5–35 °C), while minimizing fouling susceptibility through surface hydrophilicity and low-silica adsorption kinetics.
Key Features
- Triple-stage RO configuration with staged pressure optimization to maximize recovery ratio and extend service life
- High-rejection TFC membranes certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for material safety and structural integrity
- Pre-assembled, pre-rinsed, and endotoxin-tested cartridge assembly—ready for immediate installation without system priming delays
- Integrated flow-path sealing and O-ring geometry compliant with ISO 228-1 parallel thread standards for leak-free mounting
- Batch-traceable manufacturing documentation including membrane lot numbers, hydraulic performance test reports, and bioburden validation data
- Compatible with Deepflow CY series ultra-pure water generators (e.g., CY-UPW10, CY-UPW20) via standardized 10-inch × 2.5-inch housing interface
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The S Pack RO3 cartridge is validated for use with municipal tap water, borehole sources, and pre-treated feed streams meeting standard pretreatment requirements (e.g., ≤5 µm particulate filtration, chlorine <0.1 ppm, SDI <3). It is not intended for direct use with seawater or high-brine industrial effluents. Regulatory alignment includes conformance with ISO 13485:2016 design control principles for medical device-associated water purification components, and full traceability supports GLP and GMP audit readiness. While the cartridge itself is not FDA-listed, its materials comply with USP for plastic components in pharmaceutical water systems and meet EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 for food-contact safety.
Software & Data Management
As a passive hardware component, the S Pack RO3 cartridge does not incorporate embedded electronics or firmware. However, when deployed within Deepflow CY-series systems, it interfaces with the platform’s onboard PLC-based monitoring suite, which logs cumulative runtime, differential pressure across each stage (ΔP₁, ΔP₂, ΔP₃), and real-time conductivity readings pre- and post-cartridge. All operational data are timestamped and exportable via USB or Ethernet in CSV format, supporting 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic record retention when paired with validated LIMS or ELN software. Maintenance alerts trigger automatically upon reaching manufacturer-recommended service intervals (typically 12 months or 6,000 L throughput, whichever occurs first), with audit trail generation enabled for quality assurance workflows.
Applications
- HPLC and UHPLC mobile phase preparation where ionic residue must remain below 0.055 µS/cm at 25 °C
- Cell culture media formulation requiring endotoxin levels <0.03 EU/mL and total organic carbon (TOC) <5 ppb
- ICP-MS sample introduction systems demanding sub-ppt metal ion background
- Electrophysiology and patch-clamp experiments sensitive to Na⁺/K⁺ conductance artifacts
- Calibration standard preparation for trace elemental analysis (e.g., EPA Method 200.8, ISO 17294-2)
- Final polishing stage in multi-tiered water purification trains serving central lab utilities
FAQ
What is the recommended service life of the S Pack RO3 cartridge?
Under typical laboratory feed water conditions (TDS < 200 ppm, chlorine removed), the nominal service interval is 12 months or 6,000 liters of processed water—whichever occurs first. Actual lifespan depends on feed quality, operating pressure, and frequency of system sanitization cycles.
Can this cartridge be sterilized using steam or ozone?
No. The polyamide membrane is incompatible with saturated steam (>80 °C), hot ozone (>0.3 ppm), or hydrogen peroxide vapor. Sanitization must follow Deepflow’s validated protocol using ambient-temperature sodium hypochlorite (≤100 ppm, 30-min contact) followed by thorough dechlorination.
Is batch-specific validation data provided with each unit?
Yes. Each S Pack RO3 cartridge ships with a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) listing membrane lot number, pre-installation conductivity baseline (<1.0 µS/cm), and endotoxin test result (<0.015 EU/mL), all traceable to ISO/IEC 17025-accredited testing labs.
Does this cartridge require system recalibration after replacement?
No recalibration is needed; however, the system must undergo a mandatory 2-hour flush cycle and conductivity stabilization period before resuming critical-use operation. Deepflow CY-series controllers automatically initiate this sequence upon cartridge detection.
