Great Product, Great Service
Lab Equipment
Joe Crusco was communicative, timely, responsive, and informative. Set up was a breeze and he walked us through the replacement of future water filters, giving a step by step tutorial so that we're able to complete this independently in the future.

The Purelab Option Q is a great addition to a wastewater lab
We are using the Option Q for Type 1 and 2 water in our municipal wastewater laboratory
The Purelab Option Q has been a very beneficial addition to our lab. It produces lab grade water quickly and efficiently. It is easy to use and maintain. If you have any questions or issues in the operation of the unit, they have a very helpful service department for technical questions. Their Tech Supervisor John Kubicki is very helpful and always acts glad to be of service. They have a website that you can use to order consumables which is also nice.

Fantastic water purification system!
Veterinary Sciences
This system is very well manufactured! We have several of these systems pairs with a 75L reservoir. The downfall is that the reservoir, of course, should not be used as a supply of testing quality water, but it does work well for cleaning/rinsing of equipment. The system consistently delivers of 18.2 Mega ohms of water, even when under constant use. Consumables are easy to replace, which is an excellent feature since regular maintenance is key to the proper functionality of the equipment. Cons: The little plastic handle to dispense water from the unit has broken in the past. A more robust handle dispenser would be an improvement. With that said, the handle is very easy to replace!

Water in pharma and healthcare: Interactive quiz and toolkit
In this interactive document, ELGA LabWater takes you through four key areas where the impact of contaminated water can be catastrophic — whether measuring therapeutic levels of drugs in patient plasma samples or deciding to pass or fail a batch of API for drug formulation.
Reducing risk in HPLC / LC-MS therapeutic drug treatment and monitoring
ELGA LabWater demonstrates the importance of ultrapure water for HPLC and LC-MS/MS by looking at some key applications of HPLC in clinical diagnostics. Examine the challenges that are frequently directly related to the quality of the water used. Applications highlighted include (i) ISD monitoring and treatment, (ii) monitoring of anti-psychotic drugs, (iii) drugs testing in forensic toxicology, and (iv) measuring the circulating levels of antimicrobials in severe infection.
HPLC in pharmaceutical analysis: Why water purity matters
Water is essential to the pharmaceutical industry, as both a raw material and a solvent in the processing, formulation and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. In this white paper, ELGA LabWater provides guidance to help you meet the specific water-related challenges associated with HPLC and the different water types used in the manufacture, analysis and quality control of life-saving drugs.

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.
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.
Laboratory Water: A key Reagent for Experimental Success
Every day, scientists around the world are using water for a multitude of purposes. But the quality of this reagent is too important to ignore - contaminants and variabilities in laboratory water are putting too many results at risk. This guide shares ELGA’s expert knowledge about laboratory water and water purification technologies. Different levels of water purity are explored and some of the challenges around choosing what to use for a successful experimental outcome at the most economical cost are examined.
