Great field service engineer but delayed warranty action from Elga
Molecular biology
Warranty replacement was installed by engineer Joseph Crusco. Joe took great care of us making multiple trips to our university lab to attempt repairs on a broken Pure flex2 system and then again to install the replacement system. Our original flex2 system stopped working for unknown reasons and after some delay, Elga did send us a replacement unit under warranty that now seems to be working well.

The Pureflex-2 water purifier is good value for money.
Laboratory research
The Pureflex-2 water purifier is good value for money. The preventive maintenance service provided by the company service technician, Mr. Joseph Crusco, was a very good experience. Mr. Crusco listened carefully to my description of the problem, asked questions about the exact components built in the unit with us, understood the problem, listed the material needed and had them shipped to us, and then appeared on scheduled date and time to complete the repair to our satisfaction.

Great equipment, very easy to use.
Experimental Laboratory
Joseph Crusco efficiently installed the PureLab Flex2 in our lab at the University of Maryland on April 9th. The engineer took care of our needs and trained us to use the equipment easily. The equipment itself has a good look, and the quality of the water is perfect for our experiments. Thank you so much!

Protection from Harmful Chemical Contaminants in Food
There are many potentially toxic substances in the environment that may contaminate our food, so is vital that measures are taken to protect against these threats to human health. In this application note, ELGA LabWater discusses sensitive new techniques that can accurately detect and measure chemical contaminants in food. ELGA LabWater also explores the benefits of using water purified in a PURELAB® laboratory water purification system for these experiments.
Using ELGA PURELAB Water Purification Systems to Investigate Potential Health Benefits of Food and Drinks
Understanding which foods we should eat for specific health benefits can be difficult – especially as these claims are not always backed up with sufficient scientific evidence. To address this, researchers are analyzing the bioactive compound profiles of different foodstuffs and assessing their potential health-improving properties. In this application note, ELGA LabWater explores the benefits of using ELGA PURELAB® Water Purification Systems in these experiments.
Improving Fingerprint Analysis in Criminal Investigations
In this application note, discover a new sensitive technique for fingerprint examination allowing forensic scientists to gain more information - such as visualizing hidden fingerprints left on challenging surfaces or analyzing the chemicals in residues.
Monitoring Exposure to Man-Made Chemicals
There are now some 70,000 chemicals on the commercial market, with many others produced each year as intermediates, waste or laboratory chemicals. Many are released into the environment with little or no knowledge of the potential long-term impact on ecosystems. Scientists are developing sensitive techniques that can accurately detect and measure these synthetic compounds so their effects on humans and wildlife can be carefully monitored.
Inspired by Nature – Creating Innovative New Materials for Biomedicine
After a skin injury, our body normally triggers a complex wound healing process to repair the damage. Scientists are investigating the use of tissue engineering to mimic the body’s natural processes and help promote the healing of chronic wounds. In a recent study published in Carbohydrate Polymers, scientists create porous 3D scaffolds made of a naturally-occurring polysaccharide derived from crustacean shells and demonstrate their wound-healing potential.
Pioneering Research Into Versatile New Therapeutic Systems
Many emerging viral infections can lead to life-threatening complications involving the central nervous system – including encephalitis or meningitis. But treatment can be challenging, due to difficulties with delivering antiviral drugs across the blood-brain-barrier. A recent study published in Drug Delivery demonstrates the potential of a new inhaled powdered formulation for the direct nose-to-brain delivery of the antiviral drug ribavirin (RBV).
