ELGA, the global labwater brand of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, the world’s leading water technology and service company, has won the coveted ‘Red Dot Award’ for the PURELAB flex.

Born 1955, the Red Dot awards recognise and honour the very best product designs and, in 2011, over 4,400 of the world’s most advanced products from 60 different countries were considered for this internationally recognised mark of excellence and innovation. ELGA has been at the forefront of innovation in laboratory water purification for over 50 years and this latest award follows a string of design awards for the PURELAB flex range.

“ELGA is very proud of this achievement”, said Managing Director of ELGA, Nora IKENE. “Winning the Red Dot is validation we can take our customer’s needs and concepts and deliver a highly desirable product that customers want to own”. Pure and Ultrapure water is the most common reagent used in today’s laboratory and accurate water quality is paramount for consistent reliable results. The PURELAB flex range delivers up to 2 litres of purified water a minute from Type III Pure water through to Type I Ultrapure Water and is both intuitive to use with its unique handset and simple to maintain.

Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.
