The Crysta 500, 1000, and 2000 systems produce high quality pure water to serve three different areas of laboratory applications. These range from general pure water use in buffer preparation and high purity glassware rinsing to critical use in High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Polymerase Chain Reactions. Aurora’s Crysta Series is an accurate and reliable line of high quality water purification systems complementary to Aurora’s VERSA mini-PCR, Nucleic Acid Prep and Liquid-Liquid Extraction instruments. Each Crysta system produces highly purified water at a reliable, efficient and robust rate that meets the American Standard for Testing & Materials water purity specifications. The Crysta Series also surpasses the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute specifications for Type 1 and Type 2 water resistivity levels. It accomplishes this by using a unique network of filtration mechanisms to maximize water resistivity and yield low total organic carbon concentrations. Crysta 500 The Crysta 500 produces both deionized and reverse osmosis Type 2 pure water directly from tap water. Using a stepwise filtration system that allows for exceptional purifying efficiency, it delivers quality Type 2 water at a desalination rate of ≥99% and a virus elimination rate of ≥99.5%. The Crysta 500 automatically produces reverse osmosis water for storage in its internal tank to ensure a reliable and robust water outlet supply. The Crysta 500 produces water at the touch of a one-button dispense option and is ideal for general scientific applications in media preparation and high purity glassware rinsing. Key Features - Automatic reverse osmosis membrane flush after system is turned on and after each dispensing use
- Automatic production of reverse osmosis water for storage in internal tank
- Timed dispense mode for convenient walk away unattended operation
- Auditive alarm for cartridge change when resistivity drops below users preset values
- One touch automatic dispensing option in multiple modes
- Real-time display of water resistivity, outlet temperature, total dissolved solid concentrations of inlet and outlet water, and remaining cartridge longevity
General Applications - Microbiology media preparation
- Reagent preparation
- High purity glassware rinsing
- Buffer preparation
- pH solution preparation
