Description
Bacteriostatic Water 20mL is sterile water that contains a preservative, commonly benzyl alcohol. The preservative helps slow bacterial growth after the vial is first opened. As a result, the solution may be used multiple times when handled properly in a controlled environment.
Designed for Laboratory Preparation
Bacteriostatic water is commonly used during laboratory reconstitution procedures. First, researchers add the sterile water to a lyophilized compound. Then, they gently mix the solution until fully dissolved. Therefore, proper preparation supports accurate laboratory workflow.
Because many research materials are supplied in powder form, sterile diluent becomes important. In addition, using bacteriostatic water helps maintain cleaner handling practices during repeated access.
