Our laboratory water supply has been upgraded with a Milli-Q Advantage A10 Water Purification System, replacing our previous system that had been in service for nearly a decade. The new system provides Type 1 ultrapure water (18.2 MΩ·cm) with total organic carbon monitoring.

High-quality water is one of those unglamorous essentials that affects nearly every analytical result we produce. Trace contaminants in laboratory water can cause blank contamination, interfere with sensitive analyses, and compromise molecular biology reagents. The new system provides documented water quality that meets the requirements of all our current methods.
