#REDIRECT [[Purified water#Double distillation]]
'''Double distilled water''' (abbreviated "ddH<sub>2</sub>O" or "Bidest. water") is prepared by double [[distillation]] of [[deionized water]]. It is used, among other things, when single distillation does not lead to sufficiently pure water for some applications in [[biochemistry]].


{{R to section}}
Bidest. water is used when pure, [[sterile water]] is essential. Whereas distilled water is enough for most chemical reactions, a [[molecular biologist]] attempting to create sterile, enzyme-free media might use bidest. water to ensure sterility.

Modern molecular biology labs typically use water purification systems such as [[Milli-Q]] (by [[Millipore (company)|Millipore]]) to create ultra-pure water.
