I would be careful with that.  Our pathology department (special stains,
histology and immunohistology) has been testing our distilled water through
the microbiology lab for about one year now.  Our distilled water has come
back several times with bacteria in it.  For any staining that we need to be
careful of bacterial contaimination we use deionized.
