Overcoming challenges in genetics and genomics research

In this application note, ELGA Labwater discusses the role of high-purity water in genetic and genomics research. Ultrapure water is a critical reagent that plays a pivotal role in a wide range of molecular biology applications, including DNA sequencing, transcriptomic, and epigenomic studies. Using high-quality reagents, such as ultrapure water, is necessary to ensure the reliability and integrity of research outcomes. However, many challenges associated with accessing high-purity water exist, including the origin of the water used and the grade of the water. Many institutes are benefiting from water purification systems such as the ELGA PURELAB^® Quest, which provides a reliable supply of water types 1, 2, and 3 by combining various purification techniques.
