Pure and ultrapure lab water

Breakdown callouts from Townsville
Pure and ultrapure laboratory water systems, designed, installed and serviced from Townsville.
If the water going into a test is wrong, the result is wrong. We look after both kinds of laboratory water: clean pure water (Type 2 and 3) for everyday lab use, and ultrapure water (Type 1) from systems such as Sartorius for sensitive analysis. We design, supply, install and service systems from a range of manufacturers, and also offer rental installations, for commercial and research laboratories, education campuses, mine sites and industry. A service agreement means cartridges, lamps and purity checks are done on schedule, rather than when results start to drift.
Pure or ultrapure: which do you need?
Ultrapure water (Type 1)
Highest purity
Purity
Typically 18.2 MΩ·cm.
Used for
Sensitive analysis such as HPLC, ICP-MS and cell culture. Typically from ultrapure systems such as Sartorius.
Pure water (Type 2)
General laboratory grade
Purity
Lower purity than Type 1.
Used for
Reagents, buffers and feeding analysers.
Pure water (Type 3)
Lowest grade
Purity
Basic purified water.
Used for
Rinsing glassware and feeding Type 1 systems.
Type 1 ultrapure water comes from dedicated polishing systems such as Sartorius units. We install, service and repair them, and look after the pure-water supply that feeds them. Not sure which you need? Tell us the tests your lab runs and we will match the system.
What we do for laboratories
Design and supply
Systems matched to your tests, feed water and daily use.
Installation
Installed, commissioned and handed over to your staff.
Scheduled servicing
Cartridges, UV lamps, sanitising, purity checks and calibration.
Breakdown callouts and repairs
Same or next business day around Townsville, on any make.
Rental installations

On site: servicing, maintenance and callouts
We service and maintain pure-water and ultrapure systems on site, including Sartorius units, from the pre-treatment and RO stage through to UV, storage and controls. Scheduled maintenance keeps cartridges, lamps, sanitising and purity checks up to date, and when a system stops we can usually attend the same or next business day around Townsville.

Laboratory water FAQs
What is the difference between Type 1, 2 and 3 laboratory water?
Type 1 (ultrapure) water is the highest purity, typically 18.2 MΩ·cm, and is used for sensitive analysis such as HPLC, ICP-MS and cell culture. Type 2 is general laboratory grade, used for reagents, buffers and feeding analysers. Type 3 is the lowest grade, used for rinsing glassware and as feed water for Type 1 systems. The international standard ISO 3696 uses a similar scale, called Grade 1, 2 and 3.
Do you service laboratory water systems from other manufacturers?
Yes. We service and repair laboratory water systems from a range of manufacturers, including Sartorius, not only systems we installed.
What does a laboratory water service include?
Filter cartridge changes, UV lamp replacement, sanitising, purity checks and calibration, under a service agreement or as a one-off visit.
How often should a lab water system be serviced?
It depends on how much water your lab uses and the quality of the feed water. We set a service interval for your system, and a service agreement keeps it on schedule.
Can you design and install a new laboratory water system?
Yes. We design, supply and install systems matched to the tests your lab runs, then service them. We have designed and installed laboratory water systems for a commercial laboratory that we continue to maintain.
Can we rent a laboratory water system instead of buying one?
Yes. We offer rental installations, where we install the system in your laboratory on a rental basis instead of you buying it outright. Ask us about the options for your lab.
How quickly can you attend a breakdown?
Around Townsville we can usually attend the same or next business day. Other areas are by arrangement, depending on distance and site access requirements.
Which laboratories do you work with?
Commercial and research laboratories, education campuses, mine site and industrial labs across North and Central Queensland.
How is laboratory water servicing priced?
Pricing is based on your system and its components. Service agreements are priced on what needs servicing and how often. We quote once we understand your system.
Keep your lab water on spec
Tell us the system you have, or the tests you need water for, and our Townsville team will quote a service or a new system.
