Water has been rightly termed as a Universal solvent because it can dissolve most materials. It finds extensive applications in the laboratory which include:

  • 溶解化合物的培养基
  • 作为空白解决方案在定量分析中
  • 洗涤实验室玻璃器皿
  • Cooling operations
  • Mobile phase component in HPLC analysis

对于所有实验室应用,不可能使用相同的水。通用溶剂特征不幸的是,需要采用易受不同来源的污染和不同净化实践的水来实现不同的实验室要求所需的纯度水平。

自来水

自来水是主要广泛用于清洗of laboratory glassware and for cooling purpose in condensers. Unfiltered tap water can contain innumerable impurities such as inorganic cations like Ca, Mg, Na, Al, Fe, Cr, Pb, etc , anions like chlorides, sulphates, bicarbonates, organic contaminants, low volatility organic compounds, and microbial contaminants. Tap water if used universally in lab without further treatment can lead to erroneous results. Further it can also reduce life span of instruments due to corrosion where it is used for cooling through heat transfer.

Distilled Water

蒸馏水是通过​​蒸发水和蒸气缩合而获得的纯净水。通过在加热罩中常规加热水并在清洁容器中冷凝蒸汽来实现蒸发。理论蒸馏水应具有最高纯度,但具有较低或类似沸点的有机杂质也被携带。如此获得的蒸馏水通常储存供以后使用。在储存期间,它可以通过浸出被容器污染,因此应该避免储存长存储,并且应该在最早的机会中使用它。

蒸馏水用于玻璃器皿的二次清洁和漂洗,也可以作为光谱观察中的空白溶液。

Deionized Water

去离子水比蒸馏水相似甚至更高的纯度。通过通过混合阳离子和阴离子交换树脂床来实现去离子化。然而。去离子不会去除悬浮物质,酸性物质或细菌。离子交换树脂床为颗粒和悬浮微生物的良好栖息地,可以找到进入去离子水流的含量。因此,需要通过过滤和活性炭处理将去离子水流进行,以除去有机杂质。在最终阶段暴露于紫外线辐射可以在185nmand在254nm处灭活微生物消除痕量的物体。脱矿质水应在250℃下约18m​​egOHM-cm的电阻率,符合1型超纯质量。

Reagent Grade Water

一些制造商提供瓶装净化水,以满足不同的分析要求。对于大吞吐量实验室来说,可能不是从这些来源采购水的可行选择,并且将经济安装市售的水净化设施是经济的。

实验室级水规范由ASTM(D1193和D5196),ISO(3696),临床和实验室标准研究所(C3-A4)等全球机构定义。最多所有国家一级标准机构也指定了实验室使用的水分。

Traditionally highest purity waterType-I is referred to as ultrapure water followed by Type-II and Type-III in order of descending purity by ASTM. ISO has laid down similar categories but refers to them as Grades instead of Types.
