Neptec TRITON 12 Type 1 + Type 3 Water System
€7.222,00 excl. VAT
The Neptec TRITON 12 is a compact Type 1 + Type 3 laboratory water system designed to produce ultrapure water and pure water directly from potable tap water. With a 12 L/h production rate and a 50 L storage tank, it combines reverse osmosis, tank storage and final polishing into one space-saving solution for laboratories with higher daily water demand.
The system delivers ASTM Type 1 ultrapure water up to 18.2 MΩ·cm at the point of use, while storing Type 3 pure water in the integrated tank for general laboratory consumption. For laboratories in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, Labman provides local installation, maintenance and consumable replacement.
Higher-Capacity Type 1 + Type 3 Water from Tap Water for Daily Laboratory Use
The Neptec TRITON 12 is designed for laboratories that need both Type 3 pure water and Type 1 ultrapure water directly from tap water, but with a higher production capacity than the TRITON 6. It is especially suited to analytical and life science laboratories in the BeNeLux that require a compact all-in-one solution with 50 L storage, integrated touchscreen control and a faster pure water output for more demanding daily workflows.
- Ideal for laboratories that need Type 3 water for routine use and Type 1 water for sensitive analytical applications
- Suitable for reagent preparation, HPLC, ion chromatography, AAS and other trace-sensitive workflows
- Choose the TRITON 12 when tap water is the only available feed source and a higher production rate than 6 L/h is required
- Best suited for labs needing a compact all-in-one system with 50 L tank storage and 12 L/h pure water production
- A strong fit for laboratories in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg needing local service support and fast consumable replacement

Type 1 and Type 3 Water from Potable Tap Water
The Neptec TRITON 12 is a compact laboratory water system developed to produce both Type 3 pure water and Type 1 ultrapure water directly from potable tap water. The system combines integrated pretreatment, reverse osmosis, a 50 litre storage tank and a final ultrapure polishing stage into one modular solution for laboratories that need two water qualities from a single installation.
According to the product datasheet, the TRITON 12 provides a pure water production rate of 12 L/h and stores Type 3 water in a 50 L tank. The final point-of-use polishing stage delivers ASTM Type 1 ultrapure water up to 18.2 MΩ·cm (0.055 µS/cm), allowing the same system to support both routine and critical laboratory applications. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Designed for Daily Laboratory Water Consumption and Analytical Work
The stored Type 3 water can be used for routine laboratory needs such as supplying autoclaves, laboratory dishwashers and other general-purpose systems. The operating manual for the TRITON RO platform explicitly states that this type of pure water is intended for applications such as feeding autoclaves, washers and downstream ultrapure water systems. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
At the same time, the TRITON 12 also provides ultrapure Type 1 water for sensitive analytical procedures. This makes it suitable for HPLC, ion chromatography, AAS, reagent preparation and other workflows where ionic, microbiological and organic contamination must be minimized.
Compact Design with Integrated Touchscreen
One of the key differentiators of the TRITON range is its very compact footprint. The TRITON 12 combines the production unit with an integrated touchscreen interface and dispensing point, making it easy to integrate into laboratories where available bench or furniture space is limited. Compared with the TRITON 6, the key advantage of the TRITON 12 is the higher pure water production rate while maintaining the same compact system concept.
The large touchscreen supports intuitive system control, monitoring and data capture via USB. The interface displays conductivity, temperature, tank level and warning messages, helping the user monitor both the pure water production process and the final water quality.
50 L Tank with Protected Type 3 Water Storage
The 50 litre tank is designed to maintain pure water quality during storage. According to the datasheet, it includes a sloped bottom, sterile overflow and sterile vent filter to protect the stored water against external contamination. The tank level can be adjusted and monitored in 1% steps, and optional UV disinfection is available for additional control. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
The tank provides a practical buffer for laboratories with more frequent water demand, while the Type 1 point-of-use polishing ensures ultrapure water is available for critical analytical work whenever needed.
German-Made Reliability with Local BeNeLux Service
All Neptec systems are manufactured in Germany, supporting reliable long-term water production and long instrument lifetime. For customers in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, Labman provides local support for installation, yearly maintenance and consumable replacement with short response times.
