Classification of water in terms of preparation Flashcards
(8 cards)
1
Q
- Water purified by distillation, purified to remove almost all organic materials. Water is boiled, vaporized, and condensed, distillation of water can be more than once
- process of removing dissolved gasses by nonvolatile substances carried over steam in the distillation process or by dissolved substances from storage containers; Reagent used in electrophoresis and MolBio
- Used for test that require (—-) free water
A
- Distilled water
- Double distillation
- Ammonia free water
2
Q
- Water purified by ion exchange
- Removes some or almost all ions
- Organic materials may still be present it is neither pure nor sterile
- Purified from previously pre-filtered or distilled water produced using either anion or cation exchange resin
A
Deionized Water
3
Q
TOF. The HIGHER the water resistance, the LOWER purity.
A
F (higher purity)
4
Q
What component is used to remove organic material for water purification?
A
● Activated charcoal (removes organic
material)
● Glass
● Cotton
● Submicron filter (0.2mm)
● Membrane
5
Q
● Uses pressure to pump water across a semipermeable membrane, thereby producing filtered product of the original water.
● Use also for pretreatment of water.
A
Reverse-Osmosis
6
Q
Most commonly used reagent in a clinical lab?
A
Water

Q
CLASSIFICATION OF WATER IN TERMS OF TYPE
- Acceptable for most analytic requirements
- Autoclave wash water: acceptable for glassware washing but not for analysis or reagent preparation
- Used in clinical chemistry (highest purity); Acceptable for most analytic requirements including reagent, quality control and standard preparation
A
- Type 2
- 3
