Why consumable quality is vital to instrument performance

Behind every super-accurate instrument is chemistry that relies on near-perfection to work. In the case of colorimetric instruments commonly used to analyze water for specific impurities, this often involves multiple reagents made from high purity chemicals designed to react within specified times and precise concentrations. If any element does not work, the entire process fails. The same also applies to the calibration standards; it’s vital that what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the bottle.
