FAQs
What is Water, USP/EP Purified used for?
Water, USP/EP Purified is intended for laboratory and regulated analytical applications requiring compliance with USP and EP specifications. It is commonly used in pharmaceutical, research, and quality control environments where controlled purity, conductivity, and endotoxin levels are critical to procedural accuracy.
What specifications does Water, USP/EP Purified meet?
Water, USP/EP Purified offers 100% purity with conductivity not exceeding 1 μS/cm, endotoxin levels at or below 0.25 EU/mL at time of manufacture, and residue after evaporation not exceeding 0.001%. It also maintains a pH range of 5.0 to 7.0 for controlled laboratory use.
Is this water sterile?
Water, USP/EP Purified is non-sterile. While it meets USP and EP grade specifications for purity, conductivity, and endotoxin limits, it is not sterilized. It is suitable for non-sterile laboratory and analytical applications that require regulated-grade purified water.
How does this product control endotoxin and residue levels?
Water, USP/EP Purified is manufactured to meet defined limits for endotoxin content and residue after evaporation. Endotoxin levels are controlled to a maximum of 0.25 EU/mL at manufacture, while residue after evaporation is limited to 0.001%, supporting sensitive analytical procedures.
Why choose USP/EP grade water over standard reagent water?
Water, USP/EP Purified is manufactured to pharmacopeial standards, providing defined specifications for conductivity, endotoxin levels, residue, and pH. This makes it appropriate for regulated and pharmaceutical-related applications where documented compliance with USP and EP requirements is necessary.
