DSF Pure and Ultrapure Water Service
There are several types of water available in our Department and choosing the purity that you need depends on what you need. We can provide Type III, Type II and Type I water (see the description below).
DSF Type III Water Service
The deionized water, or RO-water (Type III), can be collected directly from the specific orange tap located in every laboratory, or directly at the main dispensers in:
- A building (00190 -01 054 room, in front of the ice dispenser) – Via Marzolo, 5 (recently moved from the third floor!!!);
- B building (00240 00 011 room) – Via Loredan, 16;
- C building (00200 -01 013 room) – Largo Meneghetti, 2.
If any issue is found, please open a DSF HelpDesk ticket (https://techresources.dsfarm.unipd.it/help-desk/) and use another dispenser located in any of the other building, until the problem is solved.
DSF Type I/II Water Service
The same three systems of Type III water also produce of ultrapure water with very high levels of purity and very low conductibility (Type II, <1 µS/cm) or MilliQ grade ultrapure water (Type I, <0.056 µS and 18.2 MΩxcm).
In order to withdraw Type I water, please fill the on-line Google form with the Research Group to which you belong and the volume you are going to get. At each dispenser a QR code will help you to get to the online form. The locations of dispensers are presented below.
