Description

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous preparation formulated with benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is commonly supplied as a laboratory diluent where controlled preparation, dilution, or reconstitution procedures require a preserved aqueous medium. Standard bacteriostatic water formulations commonly contain 0.9% benzyl alcohol, but always confirm the exact formulation against the product label or lot documentation. 

Because this material is a water-based solvent system rather than a peptide or defined amino-acid compound, it does not possess an amino-acid sequence. Its principal chemical component is water (H₂O), while benzyl alcohol serves as the preservative.

Research Applications

In controlled research environments, bacteriostatic water may be used as an aqueous diluent or solvent when preparing compatible research materials. Determine suitability based on the characteristics of the material being handled and the requirements of the applicable experimental protocol.
