Types of Pure Water
Learn about using the right type of water for your application
What type of water do I need for my application?
As you may know, there are several types of water purity available depending on the requirement for your application:
- Type 1: Ultrapure water for water-sensitive applications such as molecular biology and gas chromatography
- Type 2+: Pure water for general applications such as electrochemistry and spectrophotometry
- Type 2: Pure water for less sensitive applications such as histology and stability tests
- Type 3: General grade water for autoclaves, hydroponics and stability chambers, to name just a few.
- Conductivity
- Resistivity
- Organic compound levels
- Biological contamination
- Presence of colloids
Deciding which type of water you need for your application can be challenging. Our systems provide water quality ideal for clinical, research, laboratory and any other high-purity requirements.
