Have you ever wondered what the difference is between pure water and ultrapure water?

Water is an essential component in various experiments and laboratory analyses. However, not all types of water are suitable for all applications. Choosing the right water is crucial for ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Pure water is a type of water that is very clean even though it still contains a few contaminants. Purification processes are carried out to remove most minerals, salts, metals, and particles from the water. Pure water is used for general laboratory applications, such as washing equipment and preparing solutions.

Pure water is pure water that contains few contaminants, with a conductivity value of 10 μS/cm

Ultra pure water is water with a high level of purity, made as close as possible to H2O with a contaminant level approaching zero. This water purification process not only removes solid substances and salts, but also dissolved gases within it so that it only contains H2O and H+ and OH- ions in a balanced state.

Ultrapure water is made as close as possible to pure H2O, with a conductivity value of 0.055 μS/cm

Types of water in the laboratory

Choosing the wrong water for laboratory applications can lead to various problems, such as:

• Inaccurate results —> Contaminants in the water can interfere with analyses and cause inaccurate results

• Equipment damage —> Impure water can clog equipment and cause instrument damage

• Sample contamination —> Contaminated water can contaminate samples and ruin experimental results
