Water for Injection (WFI) Quality Water

Water for Injection (WFI) Quality Water for Pharmaceutical and Bioprocess Manufacturing

ILC Dover supplies Water for Injection (WFI) quality water for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medical device manufacturing, where purity, consistency, and documented quality matter as much as the water itself. Part of the ILC Dover High Purity Chemical Solutions range, it is USP Monograph compliant, produced in an ISO 13485:2016 and 21 CFR 820 certified facility in Lillington, North Carolina, and available in formats from 1L bottles for the laboratory to 200L drums for production.

Intended use

For manufacturing and laboratory use only. This product is not for direct injection, ingestion, or inhalation in humans or animals.

How ILC Dover WFI Quality Water Is Produced

The water is purified in several stages, with no added substances:

  1. 1

    Reverse osmosis and deionization

    The water is first treated by reverse osmosis and deionization.

  2. 2

    Steam distillation

    It is then purified by steam distillation.

  3. 3

    0.2 micron filtration

    Finally, it passes through a 0.2 micron filter at the point of use.

  4. 4

    Validated filling

    Filling takes place under validated conditions from a water system that meets current USP specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WFI quality water?

WFI quality water is high purity water that meets the USP monograph for Water for Injection. In pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing it is used for buffer and media preparation, equipment cleaning, analytical testing, and further manufacturing. ILC Dover WFI quality water is intended for these manufacturing and laboratory uses.

How is WFI quality water different from purified water?

Water for Injection is held to stricter requirements than purified water, including a limit on bacterial endotoxins that purified water does not carry. That is why WFI quality water is specified for processes where endotoxin control matters, such as preparing buffers and media for biopharmaceutical production.

How is ILC Dover WFI quality water produced?

It is treated by reverse osmosis and deionization, purified by steam distillation, then filtered through a 0.2 micron filter at the point of use, with no added substances. Filling takes place under validated conditions from a water system that meets current USP specifications.

What quality testing is performed?

Quality control testing covers conductivity, total organic carbon (TOC), bacterial endotoxins, and bioburden, supported by on-site analytical and microbiology testing.

Which packaging sizes are available?

Four standard formats: 6x1L bottles, 4x4L bottles, a 10L bag, and a 200L drum. Custom packaging configurations up to 1,000L are available on request.

Can this water be used for injection in humans or animals?

No. This product is not for direct injection, ingestion, or inhalation in humans or animals. "Water for Injection" describes the quality standard the water meets, not how it may be used.

Where is ILC Dover WFI quality water manufactured?

In Lillington, North Carolina, in an ISO 13485:2016 and 21 CFR 820 certified facility.
