Laboratory Ultrapure Water Purification System Part 2
✨ Part 2: Selecting the Right Ultrapure Water System ✨
Following up on understanding the importance of ultrapure water in the laboratory, in this Part 2, we will explore how to select an ultrapure water system that complies with ASTM and ISO standards, ensuring optimal output water quality for all analytical applications.
To ensure optimal purity for diverse laboratory applications, ultrapure water is classified into usage grades, each meeting a specific requirement:
Type 3 Water
Used for basic applications such as:
- Washing laboratory glassware.
- Feed water for autoclaves.
- Feedwater for Type 1 water systems.
Type 2 Water
Suitable for general laboratory applications, including:
- Preparation of pH solutions and buffers.
- Preparation of analytical reagents and microbiological culture media.
- Feedwater for Type 1 water systems.
Type 1 Water
Used for instruments and applications requiring the highest purity:
- Instruments such as HPLC, GC, LC/MS, AAS, and ICP.
- Animal cell culture, IVF.
- Biological applications such as electrophoresis, blotting, PCR, and DNA sequencing.
