News & Updates

Waternation Scientific is pleased to announce the launch of its new website at waternation-scientific.co.uk — a fully redesigned digital presence built to make it easier for laboratories, procurement teams, and technical specialists to find the right water products and get in touch with our team.

The new site reflects the continued growth of Waternation Scientific as a UK manufacturer of accredited high-purity waters, and our commitment to providing customers with clear, accessible product information to support purchasing decisions and regulatory compliance.

What's New

• Full product range — ASTM D1193 Type I–IV, Nuclease-Free, PFAS-Free, EN ISO 3696, and Bespoke Formulations
• 22 industry sector pages covering pharmaceuticals, life sciences, environmental testing, semiconductor, aerospace, and more
• Education & Resources section with technical articles on water grades, standards, and applications
• Bespoke formulation enquiry workflow for custom specification requests
• Online enquiry and callback system for fast response from our technical sales team
• Reseller programme information for distributors and laboratory suppliers

Built for the Scientific Community

The site has been designed with laboratory buyers and technical decision-makers in mind. Product pages include detailed specification tables, compliance information, and typical applications, while the industry section helps visitors quickly identify the right product grade for their specific sector.

Our aim is to make Waternation Scientific as easy to work with digitally as we are over the phone — with clear information, fast access to our team, and a straightforward enquiry process that gets you to the right person quickly.

Waternation Scientific is pleased to announce the launch of its new PFAS-Free Water range, developed specifically for environmental monitoring, regulatory testing, and analytical laboratories requiring the highest standards of trace-level purity.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — often referred to as 'forever chemicals' — are increasingly the focus of international regulation and environmental scrutiny. As testing laboratories face ever more stringent detection thresholds, the quality of reagent water used in sample preparation and analysis has become critical to result accuracy.

What Makes It Different

Our PFAS-Free Water is manufactured under strict cleanroom conditions and subjected to multi-stage purification including reverse osmosis, UV oxidation, and ion exchange. Each production batch is analytically verified to confirm non-detectable PFAS levels using validated LC-MS/MS methodology, with full batch traceability documentation supplied as standard.

• No detectable PFAS at sub-ppt detection limits
• Analytical-grade purity aligned with EN ISO 3696 Grade 1
• Batch certificate and CoA supplied with every order
• Available in 500ml, 1L, 2.5L and 5L formats
• Compatible with EPA, ASTM and EU regulatory test methods

Who Is It For?

The product is intended for environmental testing laboratories conducting PFAS monitoring in water, soil, and food matrices; regulatory bodies undertaking compliance testing; and any analytical facility where background PFAS contamination could compromise results or regulatory submissions.

Waternation Scientific has completed a significant capital investment programme at its Heron Business Park facility in Widnes, Cheshire, delivering a doubling of production and bottling capacity to meet growing demand from customers across the UK and mainland Europe.

The expansion, which was completed in December 2025, includes the installation of additional high-capacity bottling lines, an extended cleanroom manufacturing area, and upgraded purification infrastructure to support increased throughput without any compromise to product quality or batch consistency.

What's Changed

• New ISO 14644 Class 7 cleanroom production suite added
• Second high-speed bottling line now operational
• Expanded purified water generation capacity
• Additional cold-store and logistics handling space
• Enhanced in-line QC monitoring and environmental controls

What This Means for Customers

Increased capacity means improved lead times and greater stock availability across our standard product range. Customers requiring large-volume or urgent orders will benefit from greater scheduling flexibility, and the expanded facility will support the introduction of new product formats and grades planned for 2026.

Our commitment to quality remains unchanged — every batch produced in the new facility continues to be subject to the same rigorous analytical verification, certification, and traceability processes our customers rely on.

Waternation Scientific has successfully completed the renewal of its ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanroom certification, following independent third-party audit and particle count verification of our primary manufacturing environment.

The ISO 14644 standard defines the classification of air cleanliness in cleanrooms and associated controlled environments by particle concentration. Class 7 certification — equivalent to the former Federal Standard 209E Class 10,000 — specifies a maximum of 352,000 particles per cubic metre at 0.5 microns, making it a recognised benchmark for pharmaceutical, biotech, and high-purity manufacturing operations.

Why It Matters

For customers in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and life sciences, the environmental conditions under which reagent water is produced directly impact product quality and regulatory compliance. Our certified cleanroom provides the controlled conditions necessary to prevent contamination during the filling and packaging stages of production.

• Third-party certified by an accredited inspection body
• Annual particle count testing and environmental monitoring
• Positive pressure gowning protocols maintained
• HEPA-filtered air supply with continuous monitoring
• Temperature and humidity controlled to defined limits

Our Commitment

This renewal reflects our ongoing investment in the infrastructure and quality systems required to manufacture water products that meet the most demanding purity and compliance standards. Copies of the current certification are available on request for customers requiring documentation for their own regulatory submissions.

Waternation Scientific has launched a dedicated bespoke water formulation service for pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers who require reagent waters with specifications beyond our standard product range.

While our ASTM D1193 and EN ISO 3696 grades cover the majority of laboratory applications, some pharmaceutical manufacturing, QC, and R&D processes demand water with tightly controlled properties that fall outside standard classifications. Our bespoke service addresses this gap by offering fully customised formulations developed and produced to each customer's exact requirements.

What We Can Customise

• Conductivity and resistivity to defined target ranges
• pH-adjusted waters with specific buffer capacity
• Modified TOC limits for ultra-sensitive applications
• Endotoxin and bioburden control to pharmacopoeial limits
• Custom pack sizes, labelling, and CoA format
• Waters compliant with USP, EP, BP, and JP specifications

How It Works

The process begins with a technical consultation to define your specification requirements, intended application, and regulatory context. Our technical team will then develop a formulation proposal, produce development batches for analytical verification, and agree a qualification and release protocol before routine supply commences.

The service is available to pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract laboratories, medical device companies, and research organisations. Development timelines and minimum order quantities vary depending on specification complexity.
