Perfect for protein purfication
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Protein and antibody purification

"3 years ago we replaced our old ultra pure purification system with this new Astacus system. Since this time we did not have any problems or issues with our new system. For our research and production of antibodies, nanobodies, and proteins we need at least 4l of ultrapure endotoxin-free water daily. This system is perfect for our lab. We only need a once per year maintenance service."

Very good water, no problems.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Ultrapure water

"We ordered the ultrapure water system Astacus² Reagent with μS-Control on August 12, 2019. The water system was ready for collection on 9.9.2019. The set up was made at our own company was problem-free. The initial humming of the system was quickly eliminated by fixing the vibrating part of the outer shell. Since then, the system has been in service without any problems. We use the water for sample preparation, special stains and mass spectrometry. The water blank values show no interfering impurities in the mass spectrometry. With a consumption of 10-20l / week the consumption of the cartridges is over 9 months."

I don't want to be without this device.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Ultrapure water for trace analysis with ICP-MS

"The device produces high quality ultrapure water over a very long period of time without having to change the exchange cartridges. There is no switch-off option / reset for operation, and the device occasionally "hangs up" and has to be restarted by pulling the plug. The dispensing pistol of the previous version is also more practical (especially for targeted dosing in measuring flasks)."
