Description

Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol)

Research-Grade Diluent
Tagline: Sterile Solution for Laboratory Reconstitution


Product Description

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of water for injection with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is widely used in laboratory research for diluting and reconstituting lyophilized compounds before in vitro or in vivo use.

Researchers choose bacteriostatic water to enable multiple withdrawals from a single vial while maintaining sterility, making it ideal for controlled research environments.

For Laboratory and Scientific Research Use Only. Not for Human Consumption.


Why Researchers Choose Bacteriostatic Water
  • Multi-Use Vial: Benzyl alcohol preservative allows repeated withdrawals under aseptic conditions.

  • Sterile & Non-Pyrogenic: Meets USP standards for water for injection.

  • Versatile: Suitable for reconstituting peptides, proteins, and other lyophilized reagents.

  • Ready-to-Use: Pre-sterilized and filtered for immediate laboratory application.

  • Batch Verified: Each lot tested for sterility, clarity, and preservative content.


Research Data & Handling Tips
  • Usage: Use aseptic technique when withdrawing solution.

  • Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with compound before use; benzyl alcohol may affect stability of sensitive reagents.

  • Discard Policy: Discard vial 28 days after first puncture, per standard laboratory practice.

  • Safety: Use only in a controlled research setting by trained personnel.


Important Note

For laboratory and scientific research only. Not for human consumption, injection, or clinical use.
