Pure and Simple: What You Need to Know About Maintaining Your Lab Water System

Ultrapure water is an important staple to life science labs. The water system is expected to deliver water that is free of impurities, has consistent quality and always available upon demand. This webinar investigates the different types of impurities in water and how water systems remove these critical impurities. We will also review guidelines for properly maintaining the lab water system to ensure successful life science work.

Topics Covered:

• Review the six impurities found in lab water and their impact on lab results
• Investigate seven common consumables to remove these impurities and their critical role to purify ultrapure water
• Establish guidelines for setting up standard maintenance for ultrapure water systems
