About USP Purified Water

USP purified water is water prepared from potable water that complies with drinking water regulations. The purifying process removes impurities from potable water using a combination of ion exchange, reverse osmosis, filtration to 0.2 micron and UV treatment.USP Purified Water is a grade of water which meets the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), an internationally-recognised standard whose specification guarantees a certain level of quality. Other internationally-recognised standards include EP (European Pharmacopoeia), BP (British Pharmacopoeia), and JP (Japanese Pharmacopoeia). ReAgent also supplies EP Water .At ReAgent, we have carried out a validation of the purification process to ensure that the water produced meets with the requirements specified by the USP. We also test the purified water on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that the system is continuously producing water that meets the requirements of the USP.

Properties of USP Purified Water

Grades of water differ slightly, but all water produced to USP standards is low in impurities such as heavy metals, nitrates, chlorides, and sulphates. It will also meet particular conductivity and pH specifications.USP purified water has to comply with the specification as prescribed in the USP Monograph for the specific grade of water supplied.

Applications Of USP Purified Water

Different grades of water are suitable for different pharmaceutical purposes. USP purified water is used:
  • In the processing, formulation and manufacture of pharmaceutical products
  • As active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
  • As analytical reagents
  • In cleaning applications
Please contact us to ensure that USP purified water is suitable for your intended use. ReAgent also supplies USP Water for Injection.It is important to note that neither USP purified water nor USP water for injection is sterile, and therefore are unsuitable for parenteral use. For parenteral use, USP Sterile Water for Injection is required.

How We Manufacture USP Water

When we manufacture USP water, we use deionised water as a feedstock in a twin pass reverse osmosis (RO) system.RO is a type of ultrafiltration, and once the water is in this system, it’s continuously moving through the ring main and the storage tank. This means that it’s always passing through the RO and then an ultraviolet (UV) sterilisation stage. The water is then bottled, typically in 25L containers and 1,000L IBCs, or used in process. We carry out weekly testing to ensure compliance with the current specifications – and we also do this for our EP purified water.

What Is The Shelf-life For USP Purified Water?

We investigated options available to extend the shelf life for the different grades of the USP purified water that we produce. The shelf life for this type of water is currently 120 days.We now use a specialised treatment during the filling process. This has two benefits:
  1. The water is sterilised
  2. The packaging is also sterilised
Once the package is sealed, its contents and packaging are free from bacterial contamination.To ensure this process is failsafe, we sent a series of samples away for laboratory testing for microbial contamination (TVC). We have now tested samples up to four months old, and all samples have returned results below the USP WFI limit of 10 cfu/ 100ml.The current shelf life for both our USP and EP purified water is 120 days, and this will increase as we obtain more data.
