High purity water is a very important reagent in the laboratory, but probably the one we know the least. This webinar will introduce you to the fundamentals of laboratory water purification and the types of contaminants potentially present in your laboratory water.
When attending this webinar, you will:
- Learn what contaminants may be in your reagent water, and how they can affect your results
- Understand how laboratory water purification systems work
- Discover how careful selection of water purification technologies can have a big impact on your water usage and overall environmental footprint
