Cartridge and Filter Systems
Achieve the desired water types for your
specific applications
Our complete line of cartridge and filter systems offers
solutions for single step and pretreatment purification at an
exceptional value. Cartridge systems are excellent for use
with humidification/environmental chambers, autoclaves,
water baths, CO
incubators, stills, ultrapure water systems,
2
and eliminating corrosion and scaling when used with
cooling loops for lasers and radar systems.
Versatile Configurations
• Versatile configurations for an array of
specific applications
• Customize modular systems to remove
specific impurities. Over-purifying
water can waste time and resources,
not to mention the possibility of being
detrimental to your application
• Quick-release designs provide easy
cartridge change-outs and simplify
maintenance, bypassing the costs of
service calls
• Wall-mounted systems free up
bench space
• Cartridge systems are available for
installation in pressurized and nonpressurized water line environments
• Wide selection of sizes supports space
limitations and volume needs
Page 3
Exceptional Value
• Robust polypropylene cartridge
casings lengthen system life and
prevent impurities leaching into the
purified water
• High quality resins reliably remove
targeted impurities
• Purity (resistivity) meter options
include Pura-Lite “Go/No Go”
indicators and digital purity meters
for quick-glance purity values and
signs cartridge replacement is needed
• Instead of joints and seams that
are chemically adhered, ours are
ultrasonically welded to prevent
contamination and allow for recycling

What You Need to Remove
from Feed Water Determines
the Right Cartridge
Organics or Chlorine
Organic solids are present in water sources from plant and animal decay as well as
human activity. These may include proteins, alcohols, chloramines, and residues of
pesticides, herbicides, and detergents which foul ion exchange resins and interfere with
organic analysis. Chlorine is an additive used to treat drinking water and may need to
be removed for biological protocols. Activated carbon will remove both organics and
chlorine from the feed water.
Resin needed - activated carbon
Colloids
Colloidal particles typically have a slightly net negative charge ranging in size from
0.01 to 1.0µm and can be either organic or inorganic. Unlike suspended particles,
colloids do not settle out by gravity, but remain suspended in liquid. Colloids clog filters,
interfere with instrument operation, foul reverse osmosis membranes, and can bypass ion
exchange resins, resulting in lower resistivity in deionized water systems. Macroreticular
resins enhance performance of deionization resins and extend final filter life.
Resin needed - macroreticular resin

(Chlorine and Organics)

Inorganic Ions
Impurities such as silicates, chlorides, fluorides,
bicarbonates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, and ferrous
compounds are present as cations (positively charged ions)
and anions (negatively charged ions). Water with a high
concentration of ions will conduct electricity and have high
conductivity and low resistivity, as the two are inversely
related. Ions will adversely affect the results of inorganic
analyses such as IC, AA, ICP/MS, and may retard cell and
tissue growth in biological research. These ions can also
affect the cartridge life in deionized water systems.
Resin needed - ion exchange resin, cation exchange,
or anion exchange
• Two-Bed (high capacity) resin – contains a layer of
cation resin followed by a layer of anion resin within
the same cartridge. This resin will not remove ions as
thoroughly as the mixed-bed, but it will last longer.
• Mixed-Bed (ultrapure) resin – contains a mixture of
anion and cation resins to improve ion exchange
reaction kinetics. It produces high resistivity water at a
pH of 6.8 to 7.2 that is free of silica, carbon dioxide,
and other ionized impurities.
Oxygen
To help prevent corrosion in applications such as closed
cooling loop systems for radar, computer, and laser
systems choose an oxygen removal resin.
Resin needed - oxygen removal
Only high quality resins are used in our
cartridge and filter systems to ensure
consistently high quality product water.

Non-pressurized cartridge systems
Hose Nipple Cartridge Systems
An economical and simple approach for purifying
water, this system can be installed by itself or in a
series using simple tubing. Cartridges for this system
provide a selection of removal properties, such as
organic, ion, metal, and oxygen removal within a
100% virgin polypropylene cartridge housing. This
holder offers the flexibility of accepting half-size,
two-third size and full-size cartridges as needed.
Cartridges are also available with color change
indicators so you know when it is time to replace
the cartridge.
Shown here installed in a series for
greater capacity, our most common
Hose Nipple Cartridge, D8901 and
D8902, is used for generating
deionized water for glassware
washing and rinsing
Bantam Deionizer Cartridge Systems
A good choice for deionization or pretreatment of lab
water. Ideal for applications requiring up to 38 L/hr of
purified water, this system includes an integrated resistivity
meter that measures up to 18 MΩ - cm tolerating
inlet pressure ranging from 5 -70 psi. Designed for
non-pressurized applications, this sytstem requires
diverting output water to an atmospherically vented
receptacle as no back pressure can be accepted.

Common Applications for Cartridge Systems
Thermo Scientific Barnstead cartridge systems are ideal for treating
water used in many common laboratory settings:
Supply purified water for general lab equipment
(CO2 incubators, environmental chambers, and water baths)
Pure water is frequently required for humidification and decontamination in common laboratory equipment. The
equipment often requires water with a resistivity ranging from 50 kΩ - 1 MΩ. The use of ultrapure water may
damage equipment, yet poor quality water can cause mineral deposits or contamination. Water used with this
equipment typically does not need to be sterile.
