Water dosage type P2

Type P2 water is highly purified water used in many industrial and analytical environments where controlling chemical, metallic, and particulate impurities is essential. It is used in production, formulation, the preparation of analytical solutions, and the manufacture of products sensitive to trace contaminants.

P2 water control ensures the stability of chemical processes, the reliability of analyses, and compliance with internal or regulatory specifications. Its quality is based on a rigorous set of physicochemical parameters, measured using state-of-the-art techniques adapted to very low concentrations.

Industrial applications

P2 water analysis is essential in many technical sectors where water quality directly influences the performance of the process or final product.

• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry: culture media, dilutions, buffer solutions
• Sensitive industrial processes: washing, reagent production, component manufacturing
• Analytical laboratories: preparatory solvents, dilution solutions
• Environment: Control of ultrapure water used in metrology or analysis
• Cosmetics and fine chemicals: formulation of products with high purity requirements

In each of these applications, the presence of trace metals, residual ions, organic carbon, or particles can compromise the performance of the final product. Hence the need for strict analytical control.

Analytical methods

P2 type water analysis relies on a set of complementary physico-chemical methods to obtain a complete profile of potential contaminants.

ICP-OES / ICP-MS
are used to quantify trace metals such as Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, or other elements potentially present in industrial facilities. ICP-MS allows for ultra-low detection limits, suitable for very pure matrices.

Ion-exchange chromatography
is the reference method for the determination of major ions (chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, ammonium, phosphates, etc.). It is essential for verifying the absence of ionic contamination that could alter chemical or biological reactions.

Conductimetry and resistivity
Essential measurements to qualify the overall purity of water, particularly in industrial purification facilities or in the continuous monitoring of networks.

TOC (Total Organic Carbon)
is a key indicator for ensuring the absence of residual organic matter. This analysis is crucial for the pharmaceutical, biological, and chemical sectors where organic compounds can interfere with products or reactions.

Particle size analysis or particle counting
allows control of the presence of insoluble particles, necessary in ultrapure environments.

is essential to complete the qualification of purification networks.

TOC – Total Organic Carbon
Essential complement for the assessment of organic purity.

Heavy metal analysis
Relevant when P2 water is used in sensitive formulations.
