Academic Research & Labs

Water and solvent purification for your research lab.

Supply your instruments, teaching labs and moisture-sensitive chemistry with systems configured for your research. PPT designs, installs and supports laboratory water and inert-gas solvent purification equipment.

Lab water and solvent systems your campus can support.

Your synthesis group, analytical suite and teaching labs draw on different utilities. PPT works with your researchers, lab managers, facilities and EH&S teams to size water systems, select solvent configurations and coordinate installation. Operator training, column replacement and RO/DI maintenance help your team support equipment as students, staff and research programs change.

Applications

Purified water and dry solvents for your daily lab work.

01

Air- and moisture-sensitive chemistry

Configure solvent purification and delivery around your synthesis, glovebox and Schlenk-line work. Your solvent list, purity requirements and dispensing locations guide system selection.

02

Analytical instruments and sample preparation

Document your instrument feedwater specifications and preparation requirements. PPT can review central RO/DI supply and any point-of-use polishing your analytical work needs.

03

Teaching labs, media and buffer preparation

Plan shared water supply around your teaching schedule, preparation workload and simultaneous use. Identify different quality requirements before combining lab spaces on one supply.

04

Glassware washers and autoclaves

Supply your laboratory support equipment to its manufacturer’s water specifications. Include rinse demand, steam-generator make-up and recovery time when sizing your system.

Planning considerations

Fit your equipment to your campus and your users.

Your lab’s footprint, utility access and operating procedures influence which system your team can install and maintain.

Solvent purification columns installed within a laboratory hood
Solvent count and installation format
Compare compact, cabinet-mounted, hooded and free-standing systems against your current solvents, expected additions and available space. Include your dispensing and glovebox connections.
Campus EH&S and utility coordination
Review ventilation, inert-gas supply, grounding, bonding and spill-containment requirements with your campus teams. Resolve building connections and service clearances before installation.
Shared use and operator turnover
Include startup training, equipment documentation and clear operating responsibilities in your plan. Your lab needs a practical handoff as students and researchers rotate.
Consumables and scheduled service
Plan solvent column replacement, filters, membranes and water-system maintenance around your research schedule. Share your existing equipment details when arranging support.
Systems & resources

Compare systems for your lab’s water and solvent needs.

PPT supplies solvent configurations for individual research groups and water systems for departmental or campus utilities. Select each around your application, rather than assuming one purity level serves your whole lab.

Solvent purification systems

Compare installation formats for your solvent list, hood or cabinet space, and dispensing arrangement.
