Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water — Research-Grade Aqueous Solution (10mL)

Bacteriostatic Water is a research-grade aqueous laboratory solution containing benzyl alcohol as an antimicrobial agent. It is supplied for use in controlled laboratory environments to support the preparation, dilution, and handling of research compounds under aseptic conditions. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol serves to inhibit microbial growth in multi-use research settings, supporting solution stability during repeated access within a defined research workflow.

What It Is

Composition: Primary Component: Water (H₂O) | Additive: Benzyl Alcohol (C₇H₈O), typically 9 mg/mL.

Appearance: Clear, colorless solution, miscible with water.

Purpose: Solvent/diluent for laboratory research applications where multiple withdrawals may be performed under controlled handling procedures.

Proposed Research Applications

In controlled laboratory research settings, bacteriostatic water is utilized to support the preparation of aqueous solutions for research compounds and controlled dilution/reconstitution processes. It is also used in the evaluation of compound solubility and compatibility in solution systems, as well as stability assessment of prepared research materials under defined conditions. All applications are conducted strictly within non-human, non-clinical research models.

Chemical & Handling Information

This material is provided in a sealed container to maintain integrity and consistency and is intended exclusively for in vitro and analytical laboratory applications conducted by qualified professionals. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol content allows the solution to be accessed multiple times while inhibiting bacterial proliferation.
