Water is an easy place for contamination programs to drift: a jug gets opened too often, caps touch gloves, a “clean” pour spout lives in a drawer, or a rinse step quietly becomes a particle and endotoxin risk. AquaPur 9301 is positioned for operations that need a published, compendial-targeted purified water profile and repeatable handling in day-to-day lab and manufacturing workflows. It is packaged for point-of-use, and the manufacturer states it is intended for manufacturing and general laboratory use (not sterile irrigation, injection, infusion, or parenteral administration).

• Processes requiring purified water that is published as meeting USP/EP specifications for purified water applications (manufacturer-positioned).
• Controlled rinsing, dilution, and prep steps where a consistent purified water baseline helps reduce variability in conductivity, TOC, and bioburden targets (as defined by your quality system).
• General laboratory and production applications where point-of-use packaging reduces handling exposure versus shared reservoirs or open carboys.

• Published specification targets tied to USP/EP test methods (e.g., USP <645> conductivity, USP <643> TOC, and USP/EP microbial contamination limit).
• Manufacturing method described as deionization, reverse osmosis, UV treatment, and ultrafiltration.
• Point-of-use 1-gallon packaging supports practical segregation (e.g., “open bottle” control, dedicated areas, and reduced cross-contact).
• Not regulated for transport per the published SDS, simplifying inbound receiving and internal movement.

AquaPur is described by the manufacturer as purified water produced using deionization, reverse osmosis, UV treatment, and ultrafiltration. The SDS lists the composition as water (95–100%). The package format for 9301 is a 1-gallon container, sold as 4 bottles per case on SOSCleanroom. If your application is sensitive to extractables or leachables, treat the container as part of your qualification: confirm container resin, closure compatibility, and any required documentation in your receiving checklist (not published in the source basis for this listing).

Use these published attributes as a starting point, then align acceptance criteria to your internal specifications and the actual use step (final rinse, dilution, buffer prep, or general lab use).

In practice, purified water is only as “clean” as the last handling step. Even when a water spec is strong on paper, contamination can be introduced by caps, funnels, shared tubing, or leaving containers open during staging. The manufacturer publishes USP/EP-aligned targets for conductivity, TOC, and microbial contamination, and notes the specification is maintained through the stated shelf life. If your process is sensitive to ions, TOC, or microbiological control, treat the bottle as a controlled component: define how long an opened bottle may be used, how it is labeled, and what conditions trigger discard.

• Packaging: Case unit is four (1 gallon) bottles per case (published on SOSCleanroom).
• Sterility: Not stated as sterile for 9301; if sterility is required, do not assume—select a sterile purified water product with published sterile packaging and documentation.
• Traceability: The manufacturer maintains a documentation ecosystem (including COA availability by lot). Integrate lot capture into your receiving practice when required.
• Country of origin: Not published in the source basis for this listing. The SDS lists the supplier address as King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA, but country of origin is not explicitly stated.
• Transport: SDS lists the product as not regulated for transportation.

The fastest way to degrade a purified water step is casual dispensing. Use a simple “open, pour, close, label” discipline that matches your risk. These practices reduce recontamination without adding process friction:

• Cap control: Never place the cap on a bench. Hold it (interior facing down and protected) or use a clean, dedicated cap rest inside the controlled area.
• Pour technique: Pour without letting the bottle lip touch receiving vessels, funnels, or glove surfaces. If contact occurs, treat the bottle as potentially compromised per your SOP.
• Dedicated dispensing: If you must use a pump or spigot, dedicate it to the bottle and area, and define cleaning/replace intervals. Shared pumps are a common cross-contamination path.
• Open-bottle time limit: Define “opened on” labeling and a maximum use window based on your microbial/chemistry risk (not published; must be set internally).
• Segregation: Keep water for final rinse or higher-critical steps physically separated from water used for general rinse-down or utility tasks.
• Storage: Store at room temperature as stated in the SDS. Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight that can accelerate microbial growth once opened.

• Using purified water as a “sterile water substitute” in steps that require sterile irrigation/injection/infusion or parenteral-grade water (explicitly not intended per manufacturer documentation).
• Leaving caps off during staging or line clearance, increasing airborne bioburden and particulate exposure.
• Using shared funnels, tubing, or transfer devices without defined cleaning controls.
• Lack of an opened-bottle time limit, leading to “mystery jugs” that sit through multiple shifts.
• Assuming container/closure compatibility for sensitive processes without qualification (extractables/leachables and closure cleanliness are not stated in the source basis).

Competitor selection should be driven by the same core questions: published compendial targets, packaging discipline, available documentation (TDS/SDS/COA), and how the product behaves in your actual handling workflow. Common alternatives customers evaluate in this category include other USP/EP-grade purified water suppliers offered in comparable 1-gallon case formats, as well as validated in-house purified water systems where point-of-use controls are robust.

AquaPur 9301 fits programs that need a published, compendial-targeted purified water profile in a manageable, point-of-use container for manufacturing and general laboratory workflows. If your environment requires sterile water or a validated sterile transfer presentation, select a sterile purified water option with explicit sterile claims and packaging controls. SOSCleanroom has been a distributor of Decon for over 10 years supporting cleanrooms across the United States—customers typically choose Decon when they want practical packaging, dependable documentation, and consistency that holds up under audit questions.
