Water is life: Ultrapure water in cell cultivation
24 Nov 2022Water 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.

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.
