Frequently asked questions
Does this meet official clinical laboratory standards?
Yes, this reagent is manufactured to meet stringent CAP/CLSI specifications for Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water (CLRW), ensuring it is suitable for critical diagnostic procedures.
Is this water suitable for human injection or irrigation?
No. This product is strictly for professional laboratory use only. It must not be used for infusion, injection, or irrigation under any circumstances.
How is this water purified for high-sensitivity testing?
The water undergoes a rigorous multi-stage purification process to ensure high purity, including:
- Reverse osmosis
- Mixed bed deionization
- Activated carbon filtration
- 0.2 µm final filtration
This results in a specific resistance of typically 18 megohm/cm.
Are there any chemical preservatives in this reagent?
No, this product is preservative-free. This formulation ensures the highest chemical integrity for your sensitive laboratory tests and prevents unwanted reactions.
Is this reagent free of particulates?
Yes, the multi-stage filtration process ensures the water is essentially free from both organic and inorganic particulates, as well as soluble contaminants.
How should I store this 5-gallon Cubitainer?
The product is provided in a durable, square-shaped Cubitainer designed for laboratory efficiency. It is intended for easy storage and dispensing in professional laboratory environments while keeping the reagent stable and secure.
Can I use this for general cleaning in the lab?
While it is a high-purity reagent, it is specifically intended for critical diagnostic testing and professional laboratory workflows where specific water quality is required. It is designed to act as a consistent, high-quality alternative to standard deionized or distilled water.
Is this product considered fresh upon arrival?
Yes, this is factory new stock. It is shipped directly from the manufacturer to ensure you receive the product at the correct level of purity and quality.
What is the expected specific resistance?
This reagent typically achieves 18 megohm/cm specific resistance, reflecting its high-purity standard suitable for demanding clinical laboratory applications.
Is this reagent intended for clinical research or diagnostics?
It is designed specifically for professional clinical laboratory applications to improve control and accuracy in critical diagnostic testing procedures.
