Laboratory Water Preparation Optimized
Last updated: February 2024
Overview
Water is one of the most important reagents in the laboratory. It serves as the principal component in the preparation of media, buffers, samples, dilution series, and blanks. It is also used to feed instruments, wash glassware, and perform a variety of routine cleaning procedures.
Keep in mind: Water is used heavily for rinsing and dilution of samples to be tested. Furthermore, it is used for the preparation of certified reference materials within the calibration and testing of instrumentation (GS-MS, HPLC) to evaluate the samples for contamination in the cannabis testing process.
This article explores the sources of water impurities and how to optimize water purity to the standard required for specific applications. It will demonstrate how to save resources by providing a theoretical and practical understanding of how to use a lab water system most efficiently. Topics include water impurities, standards, purification, applications, and accessories and services.
