PURELAB Quest

PURELAB Quest

Our interactive Lab Water Wise Toolkit is a must-have guide for every lab to help prevent water contamination. Discover how to diagnose water-related errors in lab analyses and the five major risks of lab water contamination. Learn everything you need to know about the different types of water used in the lab and which water you should use for your applications, including HPLC, PCR, buffer solutions and glassware cleaning. Find out how much water contamination really costs research labs and the impact water errors have on the lab as a whole. Make sure your lab isn’t one of them.

What’s inside?

  • Use our HPLC troubleshooting tool to discover the contaminants lurking behind blockages in the column, extra peaks and an array of other HPLC-related errors.
  • PCR-related water issues such as a false positive and nuclease contamination are completely avoidable – learn how.
  • The essential preparation guidelines to avoid contaminated cell cultures.
  • Are your buffers producing unreliable results? Find out how to prevent contamination by minimising common risks in the preparation of buffer solutions.
  • Laboratory glassware cleaning is trickier than you think. Read our glassware cleaning protocol to learn which water you need for research and analytical techniques.
  • Want to know which lab water purification system you can completely rely on to avoid water impurities, saving your lab time and money?

Elga Laboratory Equipment

When you need unmatched value, proven reliability and uninterrupted discovery, PURELAB Quest provides the perfect solution. Consistently delivering three types of laboratory water, the PURELAB Quest supports every application in your lab.

Purelab Quest
  • Provides a reliable supply of:
    • Type I water for applications such as HPLC and molecular biology techniques.
    • Type II water for general reagent preparations and  buffers.
    • Type III water for glassware rinsing and water baths.
    Water purity is measured using multiple quality sensors and displayed clearly on the system.
  • Its fast-flow rate and walk-away design delivers water at 1.2 l/m, keeping interruptions to a minimum. Volumetric dispensing means researchers can multi-task, saving time and money.
  • The PURELAB Quest has been tested through 150,000 cycles of dispensing which is equivalent to over 20 years of lab use.
  • An intuitive design which is simple to operate and maintain, with easy to change consumables, periodic recirculation and a simple, pre-programmed sanitisation process.
  • It is a compact system measuring just 232 mm wide and 510 mm high. It’s wall mountable, enabling you to save valuable lab space.
  • IoT connectivity offers optional remote monitoring which reduces interruptions, costs and environmental impact
  • Designed with sustainability in mind, the PURELAB Quest is made from more than 85%* reclaimed materials and utilises long-lasting consumables.

* Excludes materials in contact with the purification process.
