The company says customers who traditionally purchase nuclease-free bottled water or who treat water with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) will benefit from having an on-demand source of nuclease-free water.
Thermo Fisher tested the bacteria and pyrogen levels with Nelson Laboratory of Salt Lake City in the US and found that the pyrogen level in the Nanopure water was <0.001 EU/ml, with the bacteria level at <0.01 CFU/ml.
Thermo Scientific Genomics in Milwaukee, Wisconsin tested for the presence of nucleases, and found that RNase level was <0.003 ng/ml and the DNase level was <0.4 pg/μl. All measurements exceeded current industry standards.
The Nanopure Life Science unit produces ultrapure water on demand using an ultrafilter to clear these biological impurities from the water. The integration of the ultrafilter into the main water flow of the system enables continuous rinsing of the filter and provides additional protection from potential contamination for up to two years, the company says.
