Actually the megaohm rated water filtration developed for semiconductor industry is what leads the filtration effort in most pharma and general industrial uses. Ro/di is a cheap home method or small lab method used to get everything down to lowest ppm for a reason. We used to use well water but with a tall boy it was single digits in the ppm and had some mineral content but nothing to bark about. Ro is just a method of filtering really. Di removes loose ions that further help the ph method used in water washing more effective. Using commerical water with megaohm rating is one thing. Using water further striped of everything is another. And yes for scientific purposes if you want water itself to be usefull for washing you want to lower your ppm and ionized water source as low as possible.
You aren’t debunking anything. You’re just making fun of me bc I’m not a chemist and I don’t give the most chemist professor explanations. You look foolish. I’ll keep helping people. You keep alienating others around you.
It’s not funny, and you don’t need to be a chemist to know distilled water doesn’t contain minerals. But here we are!
Not generally, it depends on the reactivity of the matrix to be washed. I use regular old tap water all the time and got zero issues, even with its rather high carbonate content, which can be fixed by a few drops of dilute HCl. Problem solved
Rapid commercial distillers spit water from one side over to the other if not maintained correctly. Commercial distillery plants for water reintroduce minerals into the water as “drinking bottled water”
I’m it exactly sure why you don’t know about these situations with water suppliers.
I’ve used rap water too, I just avoid chlorinated and contaminated inner city water bc that’s a whole other story.
Dude you’re WRONG! He meant boutique water distillers for actual kings, not the lowly filtration plants plebs like us have to get their table water from.
@thesk8nmidget I respectfully disagree with your statement that “salt is not required.” 12% NaCl denatures the hydrophobic proteins that remain in these extracts, thereby exposing the charged amino acid residues buried within them, which then allows the denatured hydrophobic proteins to partition into the aqueous phase of LLE washes.
