Type 1 Ultrapure Water from Pre-Treated Feed Water

The Neptec HALIOS ID is a modular ultrapure water system developed to produce ASTM Type 1 water from pre-treated feed water such as RO water, DI water, EDI water or distilled water. The system is designed for laboratories that require reliable high-purity water directly at the point of use, while keeping the overall installation compact and easy to integrate into the lab environment.

According to the technical documentation, the HALIOS ID delivers ultrapure water quality up to 18.2 MΩ·cm (0.055 µS/cm) with a flow rate of up to 2 L/min. Optional UV oxidation, ultrafiltration and TOC monitoring make it suitable for applications with stricter requirements for microbiological purity, endotoxins, RNases, DNases and organic contamination.

Designed for Analytical Workflows and Life Science Applications

Type 1 ultrapure water is required for sensitive analytical and biochemical procedures. The HALIOS ID is suitable for use as solvent, diluent or rinsing fluid in HPLC, ion chromatography, AAS and ultra-trace analysis. It is also suitable for reagent preparation and cell culture media preparation where ionic, organic and microbiological contamination must be minimized. The intended-use section of the manual explicitly refers to these applications. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

This makes the Neptec HALIOS ID a strong choice for academic laboratories, pharmaceutical QC environments, contract laboratories and research institutes across the BeNeLux region that need dependable ultrapure water from an already available pure water source.

Compact System with Integrated Adjustable Dispenser

The HALIOS ID is positioned between the TRITON and HALIOS concepts. It combines a compact production unit with an integrated dispenser, reducing overall installation complexity while still offering more dispensing flexibility than a standard fully integrated bench system. The dispenser includes a 5" touchscreen, a rotary control wheel, adjustable height and a rotatable arm, allowing convenient dispensing into different vessel sizes.

The dispenser handle can also be detached and reattached with a simple movement, giving the operator more freedom when filling larger flasks or bottles. A sterile 0.2 µm filter capsule at the outlet provides the final purification stage directly at the point of use. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Integrated Pretreatment, Recirculation and User-Friendly Monitoring

The HALIOS ID includes an integrated pretreatment cartridge and an ultrapure water cartridge, both installed behind the front cover for quick access and fast replacement. Complete internal recirculation helps maintain consistently high microbiological purity during standby periods. The system monitors conductivity, temperature and pressure, and stores warnings, errors and optional withdrawal reports for traceability.

The integrated touchscreen provides access to dispensing, information and setup menus, while USB export supports GLP-compliant data storage. ECO mode can extend cartridge life by up to 20%, helping reduce operating costs in daily laboratory use. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
