Chlorine in Distilled Water as a Source of Laboratory Error

[摘要] Some distillation processes may result in the inadvertent contamination of distilled water with free chlorine. One part per million of free chlorine in distilled water has been shown to inhibit markedly the color development in the usual determinations of uric acid and bilirubin. The effect of free chlorine on other clinical chemistry determinations is discussed and simple tests for the detection of free chlorine in water are reviewed.
