    This water has microbial contamination!

    We used this water (Lot #0000387784) to dilute DNA for cell culture, but the cells kept getting contaminated. Eventually we traced it back to the water. Even a freshly opened bottle had microbial growth after mixing with culture medium. This ended up ruining thousands of dollars of experiments.
