In a clinical setting, the bottleneck for productivity is often the volume of high-purity water available during peak hours. If your lab relies on constant CLSI Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water (CLRW) for multiple analyzers, a single purification unit might struggle to keep up with the demand of a large-batch run.
The solution is a strategic pairing: the Double Analytica 100 with a DT300 Distribution Tank.
This configuration creates a high-capacity reservoir of Type 2 water, ensuring your laboratory never has to wait for a system to “catch up” during high-throughput cycles.
Why the DT300 is the Heart of the System
The DT300 is not just a storage container. It is a sealed, 300-liter central distribution hub designed to maintain the integrity of your purified water. By integrating the DT300 Central Distribution System, you gain a buffer that allows the Analytica units to work at their most efficient steady-state pace.
- Automated Level Control: The system manages the refill cycle automatically, ensuring the tank is always replenished by the Analytica units without manual intervention.
- Sealed Integrity: The tank is designed to prevent atmospheric CO2 and airborne contaminants from degrading the water quality once it has been purified.
- Constant Pressure: The DT300 ensures that water is delivered to your analyzers or manual dispense points at a consistent pressure, which is critical for the internal fluidics of clinical hardware.
The Advantage of the Double Analytica 100 Setup
While the Pro models are often used for massive industrial loops, the standard Analytica 100 provides incredible value and performance when doubled. By linking two units to a single DT300, you achieve a production rate of 200 L/hr, creating a formidable Type 2 water factory.
- Predictable Maintenance: Running two identical units allows for a synchronized maintenance schedule, simplifying the inventory of 0.2μm final filters and ion-exchange resins.
- Redundancy without Complexity: If one unit requires a routine 4-stage filter change, the second unit continues to fill the DT300. This ensures your 300-liter reserve is never fully depleted.
- Optimized Footprint: The Analytica 100 features a compact, powder-coated aluminum chassis. Mounting two of these units alongside or above the DT300 keeps the entire water room organized and professional.
Technical Execution: Doing it Right
To maximize this setup, you must focus on the distribution loop. The DT300 Central Distribution System is capable of feeding multiple points of use, but the length and material of your piping matter. Use high-quality, inert tubing to ensure the water reaching your analyzer is the same quality as the water leaving the tank.
Regularly monitor the digital resistivity displays on both Analytica 100 units. A discrepancy between the two units can alert you to a localized issue, like a fouling RO membrane, before it impacts the quality of the water in the DT300.
By combining the 200 L/hr production of the Double Analytica 100 with the 300-liter storage of the DT300, you are building a resilient, high-capacity infrastructure. This setup provides the peace of mind that your analyzers will always have the CLRW water they need, regardless of how heavy the daily testing load becomes.
