High-quality lab water derived from a laboratory water purification system is one of the most important components of a successful laboratory. Regarding the process of purifying lab water, consider thinking in terms of two processes — one is at the application point and the other is the pre-treatment. Because the requirements for lab water quality are so high, dedicated equipment (see Arrow Mixing, for examples) is often specified at each application point for purification as well as for blending of samples, sedimentation analyses, or staining. This type of scientific equipment can be purchased online from laboratory equipment specialists such as SciQuip. Such equipment does a beautiful job BUT typically their capacity in gallons is quite low and replacement filters, membranes, lamps, etc. can also be costly.
To maintain the desired application quality and minimize replacement costs it is best to add pre-treatment to your laboratory water purification system. This is most effective if it includes processes to eliminate chlorine, reduce TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and eliminate chloramines and destroy microorganisms which would consist of filtration, reverse osmosis or deionization, and ultraviolet. Sophistication, instrumentation, and process steps for this lab water pre-treatment can be scaled to virtually any volume and flow requirement and pays for itself in a short period of time. To make sure that the water is at the right temperature as well as the lab, temperature mapping services will be advantageous in this instance, it will monitor the surrounding area making sure that any and all lab equipment and specimens are not compromised.
