Producing high-purity water for sensitive analytical procedures requires reliable thermal purification systems. Professional laboratory distillation equipment is essential for removing inorganic ions, pyrogens, and microorganisms to create high-quality distilled water. These robust purification systems are foundational for efficient water purification and specialized environmental, soil, water, and food analysis.

- Special Distillation: Perform targeted separation of volatile compounds like cyanide using Behr absorption vessels.
- Trace Analysis Tubes: Store and handle high-purity water in Nalgene PFA bottles to prevent ion contamination.
Unsure if your lab requires an 8 L/hr high-output still or specialized phosphate pre-filtration to handle local water hardness? Our team provides local technical support to help you find the perfect distillation solution with fast shipping and competitive pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of a single distilled water still?
A single distillation unit like the Cole-Parmer WS-200A-8 effectively removes most dissolved solids and contaminants, providing water suitable for general laboratory use and reagent preparation.
2. Why are phosphate filters used with water stills?
Lauda phosphate filters are used to treat feed water, preventing scale build-up inside the boiler and heating elements of the still, which extends the life of the equipment.
3. What does a dechlorite filter do?
A dechlorite filter, such as those from Lauda, removes chlorine from the feed water, protecting the distillation components from oxidative damage and ensuring higher purity distillate.
4. How often should filter fillings be replaced?
Replacement frequency for Lauda spare fillings depends on your local water quality and volume of water distilled, but regular replacement is vital to maintain consistent water purity.
