Water for Particle Analyzers
Impact of Water
Particle analyzers require water that is free of particles that will interfere with the accuracy of particle counting and sizing. Other parameters that indicate good water quality should also be taken into consideration, such as:
- Bacteria-free
Bacteria will be counted as particles, giving artificially high particle count.
- Low organics, monitored as total oxidizable carbon (TOC)
Organics serve as food for bacteria. Organic contamination could encourage the proliferation of bacteria, which could affect particle count data.
