Why water purity matters

Water is essential to the pharmaceutical industry. The quality of the water must be controlled throughout the production, storage and distribution processes, particularly for microbiological and chemical contaminants.

One of the most common techniques used in pharmaceutical production to verify drug purity is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Due to the detailed analysis HPLC can generate, purified water is crucial for obtaining clear HPLC data. Explore how important purified water is in HPLC analysis, and discover how to avoid errors such as ghost peaks from dissolved compounds or blockages from microorganisms.
