LUCID Benchtop
$8,000 – $13,000 Excludes GST
A compact benchtop polishing system that takes pretreated RO water or an existing loop supply and delivers 10 to 18.2 MΩ/cm water at the point of use.
Real time resistivity monitoring, quality guard alarms and rapid exchange cartridges make it simple to run, with no cumbersome infrastructure and no weeks of lead time.
Designed for scientists who are short on space and time, the Lucid is a precision benchtop laboratory water purification system for developing laboratories. It puts ultrapure water at your fingertips, with no cumbersome infrastructure and no weeks of lead time.
The Lucid accepts pretreated RO water or a treated laboratory loop supply and polishes it for on demand dispensing, whether you’re filling analyser reservoirs, bottles or small laboratory vessels.
A clear digital display provides real time resistivity monitoring, and quality guard alarms alert you the moment water deviates from standard. Rapid exchange polishing cartridges keep maintenance simple and consumable costs low.
Optional dual wavelength 185/254 nm UV delivers low TOC for the most sensitivity critical work, and a final sterile grade filter ensures every draw is free from particulate and biological contamination.
Designed and made in Australia.
Key features
- Fast to install: Up and running without disrupting your lab.
- Low running costs: Rapid exchange polishing cartridges keep the cost of producing ultrapure water low.
- Any grade: Configurable to produce any grade of laboratory water.
- Loop polishing: Ideal for polishing an existing loop supply.
- Quality guard: Real time resistivity display, with alarms the moment water deviates from standard.
- Compact: A 300 mm × 300 mm footprint, benchtop or wall mounted.
Intended use
The Lucid is designed for final polishing of suitable laboratory grade feed water. It supports the production of water appropriate for CLRW grade use when fed with appropriate pretreated water and properly maintained.
Final water suitability must be confirmed by your laboratory under actual operating conditions. Compliance with analyser manufacturer water requirements remains the responsibility of the end user.
The Lucid is not intended for drinking water, patient infusion, injection or direct medical treatment. It does not replace upstream pretreatment where feed water is outside specification.
The figures your laboratory needs to plan for the Lucid, covering water quality, performance, feed water and dimensions.

Final water quality depends on feed water quality and consumable condition.
One team designs, builds, installs and supports every Purific system. Every system is thoroughly checked and calibrated before commissioning, minimising contamination risk and costly downtime. Use the requirements below to plan for your Lucid.
Site requirements
- Placement: On a bench or wall mounted, near a suitable feed water connection.
- Feed water: RO water below 1 µS/cm, or a treated laboratory loop supply. Feed water outside specification needs upstream pretreatment.
- Access: Clear access for consumable replacement and routine servicing.
- Environment: Indoor laboratory conditions only.
