Bacteriostatic Water (30 mL): For Laboratory Research Applications

(Branding may vary from product images shown) Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is supplied for laboratory and analytical applications where a preserved diluent is specified in experimental protocols. The presence of benzyl alcohol inhibits the growth of certain microorganisms after vial entry when handled under appropriate sterile conditions. Unlike preservative-free sterile water, bacteriostatic water contains an antimicrobial component intended to support stability during laboratory use. Unit Size: 30 milliliters

Key Characteristics

  • Sterile Composition: Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
  • Preserved Diluent: Formulated for laboratory workflows requiring a bacteriostatic aqueous solution.
  • Protocol-Specified Use: Selected when experimental procedures call for a preserved solution rather than preservative-free sterile water.
  • Research Use Only: Intended strictly for laboratory and analytical research applications.
Research Use Only: This product is supplied exclusively for laboratory and analytical purposes. It is not intended for human or animal use and is not for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.

Bacteriostatic Water Research Background

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is used as a diluent in laboratory settings for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds. The formulation meets USP standards for Water for Injection with added preservative.

Laboratory Research Areas

In published scientific literature, Bacteriostatic Water has been explored in the following research contexts:

  • Standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides in laboratory settings
  • Solvent compatibility testing for various research compounds
  • Stability assessment of reconstituted peptide solutions
  • Laboratory protocol standardization for compound preparation

Bacteriostatic Water Handling & Storage Guidelines

Proper handling of bacteriostatic water is essential for maintaining sterility and solution integrity in laboratory environments. Researchers should observe the following protocols when working with this product:

  • Storage Conditions: Store bacteriostatic water at controlled room temperature (20–25°C / 68–77°F). Protect vials from direct light exposure and excessive heat to preserve the stability of the benzyl alcohol preservative.
  • Aseptic Technique: Always use proper aseptic technique when accessing the vial. Swab the rubber stopper with 70% isopropyl alcohol before each needle insertion to minimize contamination risk.
  • Multi-Use Vial Protocol: Bacteriostatic water vials are designed for multiple entries due to the preservative component. However, researchers should note the date of first puncture and follow institutional protocols for discard timelines, typically within 28 days of initial entry.
  • Incompatibility Screening: Before using bacteriostatic water as a diluent, verify that the target compound is compatible with benzyl alcohol. Some research materials may require preservative-free sterile water instead.
  • Documentation: Record the lot number and expiration date of each bacteriostatic water vial used in your research protocols. Maintaining detailed reconstitution logs supports reproducibility and compliance with institutional laboratory standards.
