Charged Aerosol Detection: Application in Purified Water Analysis

ELGA LabWater
19 Mar 2012

The primary objective of this study was to assess the suitability of HPLC and FIA with CAD as a method for analyzing the purity of different grades of pure water. Four different grades were tested: Type I ultrapure water, bottled HPLC-grade water, Type II pure water and bottled purified water.

PURELAB® Option-S/R

ELGA LabWater

PURELAB Option systems from ELGA are the very best solution for producing pure water (type II) They offer a wide range of flow-rates to suit your needs, advanced purification technologies to provide pure water on demand, plus microprocessor control for consistent quality. Different laboratory applications demand different water purity levels. ELGA offers a choice of general laboratory grade water systems in the PURELAB Option range to cover applications ranging from glassware washing and the feeding of ultra-pure water systems to cell culture and media preparation. The PURELAB Option-S series delivers better than single-distilled quality, whilst the PURELAB Option-R and E series produce better than double-distilled quality.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.

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.Ultrapure WaterUltrapure water is the highest purity water and contains the lowest levels of organic and inorganic contaminants, particulates and microorganisms.
