Clinical Laboratories – Clinical Laboratory Water
In part 1 of our series on laboratory water, we explored the various grades of water commonly used in lab settings. In part 2, we are delving deeper into the world of lab water by focusing on the ASTM standards and their applications.
Water plays a crucial role in laboratory settings and its quality can impact the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. However, not all water is created equal.
Our Purite brand has strong brand recognition in the laboratory sector and is well known for product and service quality with an enviable 40 year track record. And it’s for this reason that the business continues to go from strength to strength designing and manufacturing advanced water purification systems for use in laboratory applications around the world.
The NHS has set an admirable and ambitious goal to deliver the world’s first net zero national health service. It has already reduced its carbon footprint by 11 percent between 2007 and 2015.
Purified water has long been an essential raw material used in clinical, pathology and haematology laboratories. Regardless of the application or the volume or quality of water required, there are certain critical factors…
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a powerful method of producing purified water for clinical and biomedical laboratories. However, poor specification and incorrect maintenance procedures can significantly reduce the quality of output from RO water purification systems.
Choosing, operating and maintaining a clinical RO water system should be straightforward. So, what are the specific problems that prevent the best results from being achieved?
Purified water is a critical resource for clinical and biomedical laboratories for a range of applications. In each case, consistent and high-water quality is crucial for conducting reproducible and comparable tests.
Deionised water, or DI water, has had the majority of the ions removed through a purification process. Clinical laboratories use deionised water for a variety of purposes, each requiring different levels of purity.
The pH scale was first defined in 1909 by the Danish chemist, Søren Sørensen, and has been widely in use ever since. The pH scale provides a standardised method of measuring the acidity or alkalinity (basicity) of a solution.
