In Reply to: lab grade water needed posted by chosenhandle on September 12, 2006 at 06:34:07:
I've posted on lab grade water a few times. There are actually quite a few different types of "lab grade" water. In my lab, we use a reverse osmosis system as described by another poster. We use it for enzyme reactions and for growing cells in culture. For these applications, purity is obviously important. For many labs that perform specific assays, there are specific purity requirements. For example, labs doing pesticide analysis use water that has been assayed for substances that interfere with pesticide detection. People working on trace metals need water specially tested and prepared. In many cases the differences are mainly that the water has been specifically tested for specific applications. It is the testing that makes the water so pricey.
Needless to say, none of these are important for record cleaning. Industrial grade distilled water (what you buy in the store) should be low in particulates and low in minerals, the two things you would want in a record cleaning solution. It is therefore all you need.
