Overview
The ULUPURE UPS Series is a floor-standing ultra-pure water system engineered specifically for integration with high-throughput clinical biochemistry analyzers—including platforms from Roche, Hitachi, Beckman Coulter, Olympus, Abbott, Mindray, Kehua, and Dirui. It delivers continuous, on-demand production of Type I ultrapure water per ASTM D1193-20, ISO 3696:1995, and GB/T 6682-2008 specifications. The system employs a multi-stage purification architecture comprising pretreatment (activated carbon + cation exchange), dual-stage reverse osmosis (RO), electrodeionization (EDI), and final polishing via 0.1 µm absolute filtration and UV photooxidation (185/254 nm). This configuration ensures consistent resistivity ≥18.0 MΩ·cm at 25 °C, TOC <10 ppb, endotoxin ≤0.001 EU/mL, and particle count 0.1 µm), meeting stringent requirements for enzymatic assays, immunoassay reagent preparation, and diagnostic instrument feed water.
Key Features
- Microprocessor-controlled automation with self-diagnostic startup sequence, real-time fault logging, and audible/visual alarms for low feed pressure, high tank level, or conductivity deviation.
- Integrated RO membrane protection via programmable automatic flush cycles—activated daily and post-idle periods—to extend membrane life and maintain flux stability.
- Modular design enables rapid component replacement; pre-assembled purification cartridges reduce downtime during consumable changeout.
- Dedicated ULUPURE pre-treatment modules—including custom-designed activated carbon and softening units—optimize performance under variable municipal feed conditions (e.g., high chlorine, hardness, or turbidity).
- Stainless steel 316L water path and sanitary-grade EPDM/PFA tubing minimize leachables and microbial adhesion, supporting long-term compliance with GLP and ISO 15189 laboratory quality standards.
- Optional constant-pressure delivery pump (for distribution distances >5 m) and external water loop sanitization interface support centralized lab water networks.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The UPS Series is validated for compatibility with all major clinical chemistry analyzers requiring Type I water per CLSI EP21-A and USP . Its output meets the critical purity thresholds mandated for photometric, electrochemical, and kinetic enzymatic measurements—including absorbance stability (<0.001 at 254 nm), low evaporative residue (<1.0 mg/L), and negligible heavy metal interference (<0.1 ppb). System documentation supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11-compliant audit trails when paired with ULUPURE’s optional data logger module. All wetted materials comply with USP Class VI biocompatibility testing, and endotoxin retention is verified per ISO 13485 manufacturing controls.
Software & Data Management
The embedded control interface provides real-time display of key parameters: resistivity, TOC, flow rate, tank level, and filter saturation status. Optional Ethernet/Wi-Fi connectivity enables remote monitoring via ULUPURE CloudLink™ platform—supporting historical trend analysis, predictive maintenance alerts, and export of CSV-formatted logs for internal QA review. Audit trail functionality records operator actions, calibration events, and alarm history with timestamp, user ID, and reason code—fully traceable for GMP/GLP audits. Calibration certificates for integrated conductivity and TOC sensors are provided with NIST-traceable documentation.
Applications
- Primary feed water for automated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., Roche Cobas, Beckman AU series, Mindray BS series)
- Reagent formulation and dilution in ELISA, chemiluminescence, and turbidimetric assays
- Cell culture media preparation and sterile filtration processes
- Routine glassware rinsing and instrument cleaning where residual ions or organics must be excluded
- Support of molecular diagnostics workflows requiring low-background water for PCR master mix preparation
- Calibration standard preparation in reference laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025
FAQ
What feed water specifications are required for optimal UPS performance?
Municipal tap water with TDS <400 ppm, free chlorine ≤0.05 mg/L, pressure 2–5 kg/cm², and temperature 5–45 °C is recommended. Systems rated ≥80 L/h require optional booster pumps if inlet pressure falls below 3.0 kg/cm².
Can the UPS be integrated into an existing lab water distribution loop?
Yes—models with optional constant-pressure delivery pumps and loop-return interfaces support closed-loop circulation with periodic thermal or ozone-based sanitization.
How often must consumables be replaced?
Pre-filters: every 3–6 months depending on feed quality; RO membranes: 2–3 years; EDI modules: 3–5 years; final polishing cartridges: 6–12 months—monitoring resistivity decay and TOC rise determines exact intervals.
Is the system compliant with regulatory documentation requirements for clinical labs?
Yes—factory-installed sensors provide electronic records meeting ISO 15189 clause 5.9.2 and CAP checklist COM.40800; optional IQ/OQ protocols are available upon request.
Does ULUPURE offer validation support for installation qualification?
Yes—on-site IQ/OQ services, including piping schematic verification, material certifications, and performance testing per ASTM D1193 Annex A1, are available globally through authorized service partners.
