Water is perhaps the most prevalent reagent used in the lab, with the average laboratory building using an estimated 35 million liters per year. Water contamination, however, can cause a number of problems leading to loss of sample, damage to products, inaccurate results and unreproducible data. Using Good Lab Practice guidelines and the correct water purity for the specific application can go a long way toward reducing the risk of contamination; however, some applications are more sensitive and require an enhanced level of vigilance.
