This is a typical operating sequence for learning. Your instrument model and approved SOP take precedence.
STAGE 1

Before dispensing

  1. 1Check the display: resistivity (for example 18.2 MΩ·cm for Type 1), TOC and any alarms.
  2. 2Check that cartridges, filters and the UV lamp are within their replacement dates.
  3. 3Discard the first few hundred mL if the system has been idle, as advised by the supplier.
STAGE 2

Dispensing

  1. 1Dispense into a clean container rinsed with the same water.
  2. 2Fill directly from the point-of-use filter without touching the outlet.
  3. 3Use ultrapure water promptly; do not store it for long in open containers.
  • Do not let the dispenser outlet touch containers or gloves: it can contaminate the final filter.
STAGE 3

Recording

  1. 1Record resistivity and TOC in the logbook or electronic record as required by your SOP.
  2. 2Report any alarm or low resistivity to the person responsible for the system.
