aquapuri Essence/Essence+ WPS transform lab water purity

In laboratory research and industrial applications, water is not merely a utility, it is a critical reagent. The purity of water used in experiments impacts every stage of scientific work, from sample preparation and analysis to cleaning and equipment maintenance. Contaminants like ions, particles, and microorganisms can compromise data integrity, interfere with instrumentation, and even lead to regulatory non-compliance. As the demand for precision and reliability grows across fields such as analytical chemistry, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals, the need for ultrapure water systems has never been greater.

The challenge of maintaining water purity has grown in tandem with the increasing complexity of modern analytical techniques. Instrumentation like HPLC, ICP-MS, and molecular biology tools demands water of exceptional quality—often exceeding global standards such as ASTM and U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP). Laboratories, tasked with balancing precision and efficiency, are turning to advanced water purification systems to meet these exacting needs.

Working to support these laboratories, Young InChromass– a leader in analytical instruments with over three decades of innovation in chromatography and mass spectrometry, has expanded its expertise into water purification. The aquapuri Essence and aquapuri Essence+ WPS (figure 1) are engineered to set new benchmarks in laboratory-grade water, ensuring consistent, ultrapure results for the most sensitive applications.

Pure water is the foundation of accurate research

“Behind every scientific breakthrough, there’s a hidden hero – pure water,” says M.J. Shin, International Marketing Manager at Young In Chromass. Recognizing the indispensable role of water purity, the company designed the aquapuri Essence and Essence+ series to deliver reliable and ultrapure water tailored to laboratory requirements. Offering Type I, II, and III grade water, these systems cater to diverse applications, from high-precision analytical work to routine rinsing of laboratory glassware.

Water purification is the backbone of modern laboratories, underpinning a wide range of scientific processes. Impurities, even in trace amounts, can have significant consequences. In HPLC, for instance, dissolved ions or organic compounds can interfere with peak detection, while in cell culture, contaminants may alter pH stability or introduce bacteria, jeopardizing experimental outcomes.

Beyond immediate experimental needs, maintaining pure water in the lab protects the longevity and performance of sensitive instruments. Contaminants can lead to equipment fouling, clogged tubing, or inaccurate calibrations, resulting in frequent maintenance and higher costs. By providing water that adheres to global standards like ASTM and USP, the aquapuri Essence WPS reduce these risks, ensuring both operational efficiency and reliable research outcomes.

Introducing the aquapuri Essence and Essence+ series

The aquapuri Essence and Essence+ systems are more than just water purification devices– they are tailored solutions for laboratories with diverse needs. The aquapuri Essence series produces Type II or III grade water, while the aquapuri Essence+ series delivers ultrapure Type I grade water, offering flexibility for various applications.

Here’s why these systems stand out:

Ensured water quality

At the heart of the aquapuriEssence WPS is its innovative filtration technology, which uses high-quality resins and materials to deliver laboratory-grade water. Optional features like UV filters ensure trace organics and microorganisms are eliminated, achieving TOC-free water with levels below 5 ppb. For laboratories requiring extreme precision, the ICP filter option ensures the elimination of trace organics and ions, critical for sensitive applications like ICP-MS.

The aquapuri Essence+ series excels in producing ultrapure water by combining advanced filtration packs, such as the Essence+ PACK I and II. These components effectively remove 99.99% of inorganic impurities, maintaining a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ·cm, the gold standard for ultrapure water.

Cost efficiency and long-term performance

In today’s fast-paced research environments, operational costs and downtime can significantly impact productivity. Recognizing this, Young In Chromass has engineered the aquapuri Essence WPS with an emphasis on budget-friendly performance.

Each component is designed for durability and efficiency, reducing maintenance frequency and extending filter lifetimes. This not only lowers operating costs but also ensures minimal disruption to critical laboratory workflows. “Extended filter lifetime gives users less concern for the maintenance,” Shin explains, highlighting the user-centric approach of these systems.

User-friendly design for seamless operation

In addition to technical merit, the aquapuri Essence WPS prioritize ease of use. The intuitive interface allows users to access essential functions effortlessly. A QR code on the device provides quick access to filter replacement orders and instructional videos, simplifying maintenance processes even for first-time users.

The design philosophy extends to the physical components as well. Replacing filters is straightforward, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring optimal system performance. This focus on usability reflects Young In Chromass’ commitment to making advanced technology accessible to all laboratory users.

Flexible solutions for diverse laboratory applications

The aquapuri Essence WPS series is versatile, catering to a wide range of applications:

• HPLC-grade water: The ultrapure water from the aquapuri Essence+ series is ideal for sensitive HPLC processes, where even minor impurities can compromise data integrity.
• Cell culture: The systems ensure the purity needed to maintain consistent pH levels and minimize contamination risks.
• Glassware rinsing: Type II and III grade water from the aquapuri Essence series is perfect for thorough cleaning without residue.
• Autoclave and H2generator users: The systems provide reliable water quality for consistent equipment performance.

By accommodating these varied needs, Young In Chromass demonstrates its dedication to delivering tailored solutions that enhance laboratory efficiency.

A partner in innovation

Young In Chromass positions itself not just as a manufacturer, but as a partner in scientific progress. “The company vision is oriented in three parameters: technology, solution, and partner,” Shin says. “This philosophy is evident in the comprehensive support offered alongside the aquapuri Essence WPS”

The maintenance planner kit, for example, helps labs minimize downtime by outlining replacement schedules for critical components. Combined with instructional videos, this proactive approach ensures labs can maintain peak performance with minimal disruptions.

“In a field where precision and reliability are non-negotiable, the aquapuri Essence and Essence+ systems provide laboratories with the tools they need to focus on what matters most– innovation and discovery,” explains Shin. “By combining cutting-edge technology, cost efficiency, and user-friendly design, Young In Chromass sets a new standard for laboratory water purification systems.”
