Water distiller: Applications in laboratory and industry

Why is it worth having your own water distiller? Hardly any other substance is used in industry and laboratories as intensively and diversely as distilled water. Depending on the quality, it contains hardly any or no inorganic or organic substances, ions, trace elements or impurities. A distinction is made between single distilled water (Aqua Dest) and double distilled water (high purity water or Aqua Bidest). The main difference lies in the conductance, which reflects the degree of purity. Aqua Dest has a conductance of around 0.9 µS, while Aqua Bidest only has around 0.25 µS. Both variants of distilled water are used in different areas. Medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and technical laboratories use it, among other things...

  • as a cleaning and rinsing agent for equipment and utensils,
  • for the preparation of various buffers and solutions
  • for diluting and dissolving substances,
  • for microbiological diagnostics and cell culture,
  • for the analysis of DNA traces and for other molecular biological investigations,
  • for infusions, injections and eye drops (only in sterile form),
  • for air humidification and air conditioning systems,
  • as well as for battery production.

How does a still work?

Essentially, the distillation process works as follows: Water (directly from the tap or already pre-purified water) is heated in a closed vessel until it boils. The rising steam is cooled and the condensate (distillate) is collected. Impurities, bacteria, ions, inorganic and organic compounds are removed in the process. A still also works in this way. The use of various filters ensures additional purity of the distillate. The great advantage is that everything runs fully automatically. Modern devices require little maintenance and supply your laboratory with the required amount of distilled water at any time. Depending on the device, you either connect your water still to the water line or use already treated water from a reverse osmosis system. Read below to find out how to find the right model for your needs.

Distiller for water: models

Having your own distiller for water is worthwhile even for small businesses. This will help you avoid bottlenecks and save unnecessary plastic waste. In addition, water canisters take up an unnecessary amount of space and are unwieldy for daily work. To help you find the right model for your needs, we give you a brief overview of our variants.

Mono stills

They are used for the cost-effective production of Aqua Dest. These units are compact and fit under the laboratory bench. They can be connected directly to the existing water line. Practical dispensing sensors make it easy to dispense the required amount. Suitable for medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and technical operations that do not require sterile Aqua Dest.

Bi-distillers

Choose between Aqua Dest and Aqua Bidest with only one unit. Bi-distillation units offer you the possibility to reprocess already produced Aqua Dest and thus produce ultrapure water (depending on the unit also in sterile form). Suitable for large laboratories in the medical, chemical and technical fields, which have a high consumption.

Buying a water distiller - differences and key figures

Depending on the intended use, there are different requirements for water distillers. We want to make sure that you are absolutely satisfied with your purchase at MedSolut.com. To help you choose the right model, here is a brief overview of the most important differences and key figures.

Performance

The most important criterion when choosing a distiller for water is the capacity. Here, the throughput of liters/hour or liters/minute is decisive. Even small systems can achieve an output of at least 1 liter/minute. Calculate your current distilled water needs and choose your model generously. This will ensure you always have a sufficient supply.

Cooling water consumption

Cooling water is used to cool down the water vapor. This is either tapped automatically from the water line or must be added manually. The cooling water consumption of water distillation units differs depending on the unit type and equipment. If you want to work particularly cost-efficiently , this can be a key figure that determines the purchase.

Electrical conductivity of the distillate

The electrical conductivity of the distillate is given in microsieverts (µS) and is a key figure for the purity present . The higher the conductivity, the more particles are dissolved in the water. Ultrapure water therefore has a conductance of around 0.25 µS and below. Therefore, before you buy, make sure you know what purity level you need for your requirements and choose the right distiller for water accordingly.

Additional UV disinfection

For molecular biological analyses, highest purity has priority! Many of our distillers therefore offer additional UV disinfection. This makes the distillate reliably RNAse-, DNAse- and DNA-free and can also be used for delicate PCR and IVF methods. We will be happy to advise you on the most suitable type of disinfectant.
