DI, DD,D water

These three terms are shorthand for deionized water (diH2O), distilled water (dH2O), and double-distilled water (ddH2O). They are the most common types of purified water that are used in laboratories. Although similar, there are slight differences in preparation and usage between them.
diH2O water, as the name suggests, has had the charged molecules (ions) in the solution removed by filtration through a bed of ion exchange resins. These small plastic beads with a positive or negative charge, attract the undesirable molecules and replace them with either a H+ ion or an OH- ion, which combine to form pure water. The process does not remove anything without a charge, including viruses and bacteria. diH2O, due to the lack of ions, has very low electrical conductivity. The process is relatively inexpensive, as there is minimal hands-on time, the plastic beads can be ‘recharged’ multiple times with strong acids and bases, and the tanks require infrequent cleanin
