Overview
The Q Pack T1 Ultra-Purification Cartridge is a single-use, pre-assembled purification module engineered for integration into laboratory ultra-pure water systems. Designed specifically for post-RO or post-distillation polishing, it delivers Type I ultrapure water (ASTM D1193-20) compliant with critical analytical applications including HPLC, LC-MS, ICP-MS, trace elemental analysis, and molecular biology workflows. The cartridge employs a multi-stage purification architecture comprising activated carbon pre-filtration, mixed-bed ion exchange resin, and sub-micron final filtration—optimized to reduce total organic carbon (TOC) to <5 ppb, resistivity to ≥18.2 MΩ·cm at 25 °C, and bacterial counts to <0.1 CFU/mL. Its sealed, end-cap integrity-tested construction eliminates in-line assembly errors and ensures consistent performance across installation cycles.
Key Features
- Pre-packed, factory-validated purification media with documented lot-specific performance certificates
- Integrated 0.22 µm hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) final filter membrane for absolute microbial retention
- High-capacity mixed-bed deionization resin with optimized cation/anion ratio for balanced conductivity suppression
- Low-leaching, medical-grade polypropylene housing compliant with USP Class VI and ISO 10993-5 biocompatibility standards
- Pressure-rated up to 6 bar (87 psi) with standardized 1/4″ NPT male inlet/outlet ports for seamless OEM integration
- Traceable serialization and QR-coded batch documentation supporting GLP/GMP audit requirements
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The Q Pack T1 is validated for use exclusively with feed water meeting ASTM D1193 Type II specifications (e.g., RO permeate or distilled water with conductivity ≤1 µS/cm). It is not intended for direct connection to municipal tap water or untreated source water. The cartridge conforms to ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing controls and supports compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 method validation protocols when deployed in accredited testing laboratories. Performance data sheets include full test reports for TOC removal efficiency, ion exchange capacity exhaustion profiling, and endotoxin retention (≤0.001 EU/mL), enabling traceable alignment with USP Water for Pharmaceutical Purposes and CLSI EP22-A2 guidelines for water quality monitoring.
Software & Data Management
As a passive hardware component, the Q Pack T1 does not incorporate embedded electronics or firmware. However, its serialized identifier enables interoperability with third-party water system management platforms (e.g., ELGA PURELAB Chorus, Thermo Scientific Barnstead Smart2Pure) via manual or barcode-driven log entry. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) containing batch-specific validation data—including initial resistivity, TOC, and microbial challenge test results—formatted for import into LIMS or electronic lab notebooks (ELN). For regulated environments, the CoC meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for attributable, legible, and contemporaneous records when archived with appropriate metadata and access controls.
Applications
- HPLC and UHPLC mobile phase preparation requiring low UV absorbance and minimal silica leaching
- ICP-MS sample dilution and calibration standard preparation where ppt-level metal contamination must be avoided
- Cell culture media formulation and transfection reagent preparation demanding endotoxin-free water
- PCR master mix preparation and RNA sequencing library construction sensitive to nuclease activity
- Calibration of conductivity and TOC analyzers used in pharmaceutical water system qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Reference material preparation in national metrology institutes and proficiency testing providers
FAQ
Can the Q Pack T1 be regenerated or backwashed?
No. It is a single-use, non-regenerable cartridge designed for defined service life based on feed water quality and flow volume. Regeneration compromises structural integrity and contaminant retention efficacy.
What is the recommended maximum service life under typical lab conditions?
At 1 L/min flow rate and feed water conductivity ≤0.5 µS/cm, the nominal service life is 1,200 L; actual capacity varies with TOC load and seasonal feed variability—monitoring resistivity decay is advised.
Is the housing compatible with ozone sanitization protocols?
Yes. The polypropylene housing withstands repeated exposure to ≤1 ppm aqueous ozone at ambient temperature, supporting periodic sanitization per USP Annex A recommendations.
Does Deepflow provide installation support for OEM integrators?
Yes. Deepflow offers mechanical interface drawings, pressure-drop curves, and application engineering consultation for system designers integrating the CYGARDT1X1 into custom or commercial ultra-pure water platforms.
How is endotoxin retention verified during manufacturing?
Each production lot undergoes independent third-party testing per ISO 8573-7 using E. coli lipopolysaccharide challenge at 10⁶ EU/mL; retained endotoxin levels are quantified via kinetic chromogenic LAL assay with detection limit ≤0.001 EU/mL.
