In recent years, many rapid and automated instruments with highly complex testing methodologies have been introduced to our laboratories, almost all of which require the use of water. Many investigators have discussed the impact of water quality on the accuracy and reliability of clinical laboratory testing and technologies. Evaluation of water quality and specifications according to international standards and guidelines has helped laboratories to judge water quality before using the water in question as part of testing. In the past few years, dramatic introduction of different water purification technologies has shown significant improvements in laboratory testing accuracy. In this review, we delve into the intricate factors that influence water quality.
