Equipment: Ultrapure water purification systems

TKA Microlab, Thermo Scientific 

TKA Microlab is a compact complete-system that produces 6 litres of ultrapure water per hour. The built-in 6 litre tank for ultrapure water has a conical bottom for complete emptying and is equipped with a sterile vent filter and a pressure pump for supplying equipment connected downstream (e.g. autoclaves, analyzers). If required, a flexible dispenser with a sterile filter can be connected to the tank. The system has a small footprint, is very attractively designed and looks good in any laboratory.
