Thermo Fisher Scientific Expands Pure Water Systems Portfolio in North America

Thermo Scientific Barnstead Laboratory Water Purification Systems Offer Innovation, Flexibility and Convenience

MILFORD, Mass. (April 10, 2012) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced its expanded portfolio of Thermo Scientific Barnstead laboratory water purification systems for North America, including the Barnstead GenPure, Smart2Pure and LabTower systems. Innovative features include advanced electrodeionization (EDI) capabilities, a flexible remote dispenser and the convenience of easily ordering complete systems with one part number, which ensures all of the necessary consumables and accessories are delivered with confidence.

This new comprehensive water purification portfolio also offers versatile ASTM Type I, Type II and reverse osmosis (RO) water systems for various applications such as producing nuclease-free water for molecular biology experiments or water to run a glassware washer. In addition, the Barnstead Smart2Pure and LabTower EDI systems offer the convenience of producing two water types from a single integrated system, an ideal innovation for customers with multiple applications. This integrated system also frees up space in the lab and eliminates the need to purchase and maintain multiple systems.

At the forefront of the new portfolio, the Barnstead GenPure xCAD Type 1 ultrapure water systems allow full system control at the xCAD remote dispenser. Users have the flexibility of multiple installation configurations, including placing the system under a laboratory counter with wall-mounted and benchtop dispensers, enabling highly customized solutions and maximizing bench space. Advanced UV intensity technology improves total organic carbon (TOC) measurement accuracy to increase reliability and maximize laboratory efficiency. Cartridges are easily replaced by users with a streamlined Aquastop quick-connect design for easy self maintenance.

To easily match the ideal water system for your applications, our Thermo Scientific H2O Select testing program will provide expert analysis of your feed water. Based on the results, we will identify the best water system for your needs.
