Thermo Scientific LabTower EDI Water Purification System for ASTM Type 2 Deionized Water Production

The Thermo Scientific LabTower EDI Water Purification System integrates reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodeionization (EDI) technologies to continuously produce ASTM Type 2 deionized water with resistivity up to 15 MOhm·cm at 25 °C, suitable for general laboratory applications including buffer/media preparation, glassware rinsing, and as feed water for Type 1 polishing units.

Key technical features include:

• Combined RO + EDI technology delivering high-purity water at a production rate of typically 10–20 liters per hour, depending on system configuration.
• An integrated polypropylene storage reservoir with vent filtration and continuous recirculation maintains stable water quality and low microbial counts, critical for applications in microbiology, histology, and molecular diagnostics.
• Low total organic carbon (TOC) levels, typically below 30 ppb, aligning with lab standards for bioprocessing and clinical diagnostics.
• Digital controller with real-time resistivity/conductivity monitoring, tank level sensing, filter status display, and service alerts, enhancing operational reliability and maintenance efficiency.
• Tap water feed capability with prefiltration safeguards the RO membranes and EDI modules, supporting robust performance in life science and pharmaceutical laboratory environments.
• Compact footprint designed for floor placement enables flexible integration into biotechnology laboratories requiring continuous high-quality Type 2 water essential for molecular biology workflows, gene editing, and synthetic biology research.

Additional specifications:

• Electrical compatibility with universal AC input (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz).
• Includes power/data cable, user manual, and software files; power cord and computer not included.
• Dimensionally compact at approximately 23 x 19 x 61 inches and weighs around 150 lb (68 kg).
• Manufactured in the United States and offered with a 30-day parts warranty from REUZEit.
• Classified under HS code 842121 for filtering and purifying machinery for liquids.

This LabTower EDI system is widely adopted in biotechnology and biomedical engineering settings, playing a critical role in biopharmaceutical production pipelines, molecular cloning workflows, and sample preparation for ion chromatography (IC) and atomic absorption (AA) analysis. Its reliable generation of ASTM Type 2 water meets stringent laboratory water quality standards, making it essential for researchers demanding consistent water purity in cell culture, enzyme assays, and other precision biochemical applications.
