OmniPureThe OmniPure Sub-Boiling Distillation System is a fully automated unit with all wetted parts composed of inert, high-purity Teflon® PFA and FEP. The distillation assembly consists of a directly heated distillation container and an air-cooled condensation bottle. No external cooling system is required.

The OmniPure uses a closed design with a standard storage bottle for collection, eliminating potential contamination from open-air or transfer bottles. The system is designed for easy disassembly, cleaning, and exchange of still assemblies. A sliding bottle rack with a built-in tray provides further ease of use, while protecting against accidental liquid spillage.

Elements were spiked at 10μg/L in the original reagent grade HNO3. Concentrations for many elements are below the detection limit.

Note: Distillation was performed under non-cleanroom conditions.
