Deionized water is usable for solutions preparations but the issue resides in the deionizer that has to be tested as to its performance. No "small laboratory" has the conditions required to perform microbiology cultures, nor it is really necessary to do under normal working histology conditions. If these are new CAP requirements it seems to me that CAP is going beyond reasonable requirements.
