  • Remote service module
  • Menus and wizards easy to use and mistake avoiding
  • Fixed and flexible dispenser
  • Easy access for cartridge exchange

The Astacus² system is designed for the production of ultra-pure water out of permeate from reverse osmosis or deionized water. The Astacus² water purification system is available in different configurations (Reagent, Analytical & LifeScience) to meet the specific requirements of ultra-pure water for different applications. Analytical is a version with a UV lamp for low TOC value. The Life Science version comes with a UV lamp and Ultrafiltration Module for low TOC and low endotoxin values.

An optionally integrated TOC sensor allows the user to monitor the TOC content permanently online. Besides that, the Astacus² can be configured as a bench top or bench-integrated system with an external panel and wall mounted (with an inclined display). The μS-control checks the conductivity of feed water to protect the cartridges against inappropriate feed water. If conductivity is too high the water flow will be rejected.
