Any distributor sales rep who has never called on a wastewater treatment lab or a paper mill should not be eligible for a promotion. It’s not just the unforgettable smells that you can never forget. The labs you see in many of the smaller facilities are not the neat-and-tidy sort. The EPA and the state environmental regulators require that testing be performed and there is a level of accreditation for the person reporting the results.

● Hach, a Danaher company, has achieved a dangerously high percentage of market share in the water testing market.

● Lovibond and Taylor Technologies have been in this space for far longer, and both offer equivalent products or better technologies at much better pricing.

● Consumers need to push back against these policies to prevent a monopoly from forming.

From tap water to LC/MS Grade Ultra-Pure water, CAS #7732-18-5 is the one chemical found in every lab.

From Type 1 to Type 4, your lab will most likely use them all.

Water is used in every type of lab for everything from hand and glassware washing to some of the most complex biochemical assays.  But in my experience, very few lab managers are knowledgeable about reagent grade water and only very few lab managers can provide a correct explanation of the differences between Type I, II and III water.
