PURELAB® flex 3+
Unique water purification system for automated ion chromatography.
Features- On-demand water supply provides consistent & continuous supply of ultrapure water to analysers to reduce failed runs, loss of samples and protect reagents and analyser components/accessories.
- Integral built-in reservoir delivers ultrapure water without the need for additional pumps.
- Closed system avoids eluent contamination due to water handling and exposure so protecting analytical outcomes.
- UV (185/254 nm) ensures bacteria and organics control preventing column clogging and increases column life.
- Simultaneous multi-usage: eluent generation, system rinsing and general laboratory work
- Designed with Sustainability in Mind
- New ‘eco-mode’ and RO module reduces energy consumption by up to 55%
- Manufactured from 52% reclaimed materials
- Innovative protein based RO reduces water to drain by 20%
Switch on and walk away, Ion Chromatography made easy.
A unique automated solution providing Type I (ultrapure water) from potable water. The PURELAB flex 3+ couples directly with analytical chemistry systems delivering complete automation - all in one single unit.
"ELGA PURELAB flex is very good for ultrapure water use for different applications like molecular biology or microbiology as well as analytical chemistry. It's very user friendly, and 0 to 7 ltr filled within 10-15 minutes.."

FAQs
- What is a PURELAB flex 5 system?
PURELAB Flex 5 produces ultrapure water (Type I) directly from tap water. It also has a unique internal chamber which guarantees continuous Type 1 ultrapure water which is pressure free and this connects directly to multiple analytical chemistry systems from multiple brands
- What type of applications are suitable for water dispensed from PURELAB Flex 5 system?
Besides applications such electrochemistry, atomic spectroscopy, ic (Ion Chromatography), liquid chromatography, immunochemistry, hplc, molecular biology, plant tissue culture, electrophoresis & mammalian cell culture; PURELAB Flex 5 can also be connected to multiple analytical chemistry systems.
- What are the benefits of the PURELAB Flex 5 system?
In addition to offering customers a range of benefits such as being intuitive and easy to use , easy to install and commission, flexible dispensing which allows customers to dispense water into a range of container sizes and shapes. It uses minimal lap space, is easy to operate and maintain and can be used for a wide range of lab applications. Other benefits includes real-time TOC monitoring which is calculated every 2-3 seconds to give a real time TOC reading for maximum assurance; water quality monitoring up to the point of dispense to help ensure valuable parameters are provided at all times and inbuilt periodic recirculation to help minimise biofilm build up which can affect some applications. PURELAB Flex 5 provides on-demand, continuous ultrapure water to analysers, reduces environmental impact and inventory management, prevents contamination to analysers, ensures consistency of water feed and quality and can connect to multiple analysers.
- What is the size of the storage reservoir in a PURELAB Flex 5?
PURELAB Flex 5 is designed with an integrated 7 litre reservoir.
- What is the difference between a PURELAB Flex 5 and 6?
Whilst PURELAB Flex 5 is fed directly from a tap water source, PURELAB Flex 6 is fed by pre-purified water.
