Water is it Good For? Surprising Uses for Purified Water
Have you ever considered all the places where highly purified water is needed? Apart from academic institutes, biotech and pharma companies, pure and ultrapure water are also being used in quite unexpected locations: from crime labs to amusement parks, and labs that are culturing meat.
In this episode, your host Monica Joch interviews Bob Ventura, an Applications Specialist based in Southern California, and Tracy Jolson, a Sales Specialist in New York City. Bob and Tracy tell us about the most interesting places they have placed water purification systems. Bob explains how endotoxin-free water is used to make lab-grown "fish". Tracy goes into the scientific aspects of art conservation and explains how museums use deionized water to clean paintings, coins, and anything from archaeological sites.
In our Troubled Waters segment, Marta Inês Carqueijeiro, a scientist and PhD, talks about how water quality can be a source of experimental variation when trying to reproduce results from another lab.
