Good Practices in Using a Water Purification System and Handling High Purity Water

In this application poster, a number of “good laboratory practices” for working with high purity water are described. The importance of rinsing newly installed RO cartridges is analysed by measuring TOC levels in a water sample. Reservoir material for longer-term water storage, regular monitoring of water quality (as assessed by TOC and conductivity) and flushing the water system are also discussed as part of good lab practice.
