Laboratories use high purity water for multiple purposes, directly affecting the results of an experiment. The quality of water delivered through inadequately selected laboratory purified water faucets or direct flow fixtures is often overlooked. Bacteria or biofilm will grow when the faucet is not in operation and the water becomes stagnant.
Most laboratory faucets do not factor this in, and therefore unknowingly taint the water quality by introducing microbial contamination to the water being dispensed from the faucet.
