Theoretical Aspects "Not all water is the same!" Water is not simply water. Depending on the application, very specific requirements are made on the medium water. Its natural ingredients (e.g. salts, organic compounds, particles, microbiological contaminants etc.) are usually not desired in laboratory applications and must be removed. The different types of treated water are defined according to parameters by international norms (e.g. ASTM, ISO, CLSI) to which the water quality of membraPure systems also corresponds to. These water types I, II and III according to ASTM can be assigned to the...
