MilliQ water

The Milli-Q filtering system deionizes and filters the water to get to a level close to double distilled water (ddH2O). We use this water for most purposes for the simple reason that the water in Munich is so very hard and the de-ionized water coming form the 'green' taps in the lab is just not deionized enough.
For PCRs and other molecular techniques, use the pure water from freezer 7.

Obtain MQ water from the tap in the 'Spülkuche':

  • put the tube in the flask, tube, bottle
  • turn the knob on the front counterclockwise to open and wait (little patience)
  • close by turning clockwise
  • hang the tube back
  • clean up after yourself
