Introducing Purelab Quest;

Whether you are on a quest to find new gene therapies for leukemia, uncover the secrets of the microbiome, or unlock the past with atomic spectroscopy, every scientific discovery depends on water.

Water is essential to your journey, all the way from your first idea, to the celebration when your paper is published.

You can’t afford failed tests or unreliable results on the way.

This is where Purelab Quest makes a difference.

The only purifier on the market that can dispense all 3 types of science ready water from an elegant, compact system.

Are lab water impurities compromising your research on environmental water pollution?

Discover 6 exciting research projects, helping us to understand and reduce the effects of environmental water pollution:
Sludge sampling to optimise wastewater treatment
Heavy metal pollution data
Understanding seasonal variations
Aquatic acid and Antarctic air
More than just BBQ fuel
Bio clean-up

Learn how fellow researchers are contributing to the fight against water contaminants.
In our Going Green Whitepaper, discover six exciting research projects that are helping us to understand and reduce environmental water pollution. We discuss the consequences of environmental water pollutants, including how sources of water contaminants can be monitored, understood and managed, and the need for ultrapure water to study this. You will learn about environmental pressures on water quality and how to implement water pollution solutions in your lab.

What’s inside?
- Learn how AstraZeneca and the University of Portsmouth developed a solid-phase extraction method to rapidly determine drug-sludge interactions.
- Evidence from the University of Sindh on the influence of industrial effluent on silver and heavy metal concentrations in the freshwaters of Pakistan.
- Research at the Université de Nantes, France and Institute of Plant Protection, Israel demonstrating the disruptive effect of herbicides on crop parasites.
- Research conducted at an urban sewage treatment plant in Tunisia that highlighted seasonal variations in the removal of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
- Investigations led by the University Ca’ Foscari in Venice on how amino acids produced at the sea surface become distributed as aerosols across Antarctica.
- Lab bench and pilot plant filtration studies carried out by Technische Universität in Berlin to establish the effectiveness of activated carbon at removing organic micropollutants.
- An interdisciplinary investigation at the University of Sheffield to understand the mechanical properties of Rhodococcus bacteria used in the bioremediation of oil spills.

Key insights:
- The study of interactions of pharmaceuticals in wastewater with sludge to understand the environmental fate of drug substances.
- Monitoring methods to rapidly identify and monitor heavy metal pollutants in water.
- Methods to quantify metabolic disruption caused by environmental pressure.
- Seasonal variations in the efficiency of removal of hormone pollution from wastewater.
- How sea spray aerosols that affect the climate can be monitored.
- The impressive adsorptive potential of activated carbon for removing contaminants in wastewater.
- The power of hardy bacteria in wastewater treatment and bioremediation.
- How to ensure your lab has ultrapure water so your environmental research runs Smoothly.

Select Science interviews Warren Cairns from the institute for the Dynamics of Environmental Processes at Ca’Foscari University of Venice.
At this institute they work on polio climatic research which looks at contaminants in ice cores. They collect ice which goes back to 800,000 years and will continue to collect ice all the way back to 1 million years to compare what the climate was like in the past.
The second line of research in looking at the exchange of mercury in the snow pack and the air in Antarctica and looking at the exchanges, sources and sinks of mercury.
Before going to Antarctica all of the equipment has to be thoroughly cleaned. The Ultrapure water is produced using the Purelab Chorus 1 complete and the Chorus 1 analytica from ELGA WaterLab. These are kept in a class 10,000 clean room so that there are no contaminants. The Chorus 1 complete has a 60 liter tank which can generate the water and then recirculate it to clean. It is then set to not refill until it is completely empty so then it holds freshly cleaned water which will be of the highest purity.
The snow and the subsurface snow samples are collected twice daily and stored in a -20 freezer container and gets shipped from Antarctica to Italy.
For the future it is hoped that the global mercury levels decrease so that it becomes the global background concentrations.
With the help from the ELGA Purelab Chorus 1 these tests are done to the highest level with no contaminants to interfere with the research.

Select Science interviews Elena Barbaro from the Ca’Foscari University of Venice.
Her main focus is to develop a new method to investigate environmental tracers. She looks at sugar in the snow, ice and air samples found in the antarctic.
When analyzing the samples she uses ion chromatography with mass spectrometer. For this Ultrapure Water is needed as the water is used to extract the sample and is used as mobile phase. For ion chromatography, it is very important to have low conductivity of the water.

Elena uses the Purelab Flex 2 to produce Ultrapure Water, it is easy to use and very stable, which means the analysis is done at a high standard to achieve accurate, reliable results.
