Top Tips: Choosing Your Lab Water Purification System
Authors: LCGC | Last updated: 09.03.2023
Overview
There are different uses for water in a laboratory. Water baths, dishwashers and basic cleaning protocols require lower purity water, while sensitive analytical applications and molecular biology protocols require high purity water that is free of interfering contaminants.
The standards used to describe the purity of laboratory water are Type 1 (ultrapure water), Type 2 (general or pure water), and Type 3 (primary grade, pure, or reverse osmosis water). Understanding the water requirements for different applications is a critical part of doing science.
In this infographic, you will learn about different water impurities, how they affect your experiments, and how to choose the right water purification system to meet your unique needs.
