Water is life: Ultrapure water in cell cultivation

24 Nov 2022

Water is a major component of all cell culture media and is, therefore, needed to prepare media, buffers, and additives, as well as to serve many ancillary functions, such as heating, cooling, cleaning, and rinsing. Thus, water quality plays an important role in the outcome of cell culture experiments. Download this application note to find out how the Arium line of instruments are used to increase the quality of water in cell culture.

Arium® Pro Type I Ultra Pure Water Systems

Sartorius Group

Arium® Pro Type I ultra pure water systems for the production of reagent-grade water needed for critical applications as well as routine analyses. Typical applications are the production of ultrapure water for cell culture or chromatographic applications. The Type I ultrapure water systems are available in four different versions and can be ordered as wall-mounted unit, bench-top system or built-in system. Arium® Pro features a convincing innovative design, quality and ease of use. Sophisticated display and menu functions User can choose between three Comfortable water dispense setups Highly developed electronic features Display and menu functions The innovative glass operator interface with touch function can be operated easily. The intuitive menu navigation with integrated text support is easy to handle. Pre-setting of relevant parameters for documentation, e.g. conductivity feed and product PIN protected menu and service setting Service and alarm functions supported by graphic presentation Color-coded warnings Displays measured values for water (feed water, product water, temperature, total dispended water), system information and count down for next recommended consumable replacement. Integrated totalizer to monitor water consumption Diary function Water Dispense With the manual, volume and time dispensed water control the Arium® pro gives users the greatest possible flexibility in routine applications. A countdown for the remaining amount of water is displayed and the system comes with a volume and time memory function. Manual dispense (stepless from 0,5 up to 2 l/min) Volume dispense (0,1 – 60 l) Time dispense (30 sec – 59 min) Electronic features for data backup and display Arium® Pro automatically measures the conductivity of feed and product water. These and other parameters can be displayed continuously or directly on a PC or printer and can be saved on a SD card as well. Related products Arium Smart Station Arium® Mini

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.Ultrapure WaterUltrapure water is the highest purity water and contains the lowest levels of organic and inorganic contaminants, particulates and microorganisms.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Pure WaterPure water is processed to remove significant level of contaminants and is suitable for use in many laboratory applications.
