BACTERIOSTATIC WATER

Bacteriostatic Water 10ml — Research Solution

Bacteriostatic Water 10ml is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative and is supplied for laboratory research purposes. Within laboratory environments, this solution is commonly utilised for the dilution and reconstitution of lyophilised materials where sterility and handling stability are required.

Provided in sealed sterile containers, Bacteriostatic Water supports laboratory workflows requiring repeated withdrawals under controlled aseptic conditions.

Research Areas of Interest

Laboratory applications of Bacteriostatic Water include:

• Reconstitution procedures for lyophilised peptides and reference materials within controlled laboratory environments
• Preparation of aqueous solutions used in formulation and method development research workflows
• Investigation of preservative mechanisms relating to microbial growth inhibition during multi-use handling

These applications position Bacteriostatic Water as a standard utility component within biochemical and analytical laboratory workflows.
