deionizers
Water purification devices
Deionizers are devices or substances that remove ions from a solution, typically water.
The process produces purified water for laboratory, industrial, or pharmaceutical use.
Deionized water lacks the mineral content of tap water, making it essential where dissolved salts would interfere: The lab runs all samples through deionizers first.
