When using highly sensitive analyzing methods, consistently high-quality laboratory water is essential for precise test results. Many labs still buy bottled water. Not only is this expensive, but bottled water also carries a higher risk of contamination because it is usually used by more than one person. This danger is reinforced through repeated opening and closing of the bottle as well as by taking water with pipettes for sample preparation...
