Bacteriostatic Water

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 prepared solutions, supporting solution stability over a defined working period. 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. This product is not formulated for clinical, therapeutic, injectable, or any human or veterinary use.

Research Applications:

In controlled laboratory research settings, bacteriostatic water is utilized to support:

  • Preparation of aqueous solutions for research compounds
  • Controlled dilution and reconstitution processes in laboratory environments
  • Evaluation of compound solubility and compatibility in solution systems
  • Stability assessment of prepared research materials under defined conditions

All applications are conducted strictly within non-human, non-clinical research models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bacteriostatic Water, and what is it used for in research?
Bacteriostatic Water is a research-grade aqueous laboratory solution containing benzyl alcohol (about 9 mg/mL, or 0.9%) as an antimicrobial preservative. In controlled laboratory settings it is used as a solvent and diluent to prepare, dilute, and reconstitute research compounds under aseptic conditions. It is intended exclusively for in vitro and analytical laboratory use by qualified professionals.
Is Bacteriostatic Water the same as sterile water?
No. Both are purified water, but Bacteriostatic Water contains benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic (antimicrobial) preservative, whereas sterile water has no additives. The preservative allows a sealed vial to support multiple aseptic withdrawals over time in a research workflow, while plain sterile water is generally single-use once opened.
How is Bacteriostatic Water different from reconstitution solution?
They serve a similar laboratory purpose but are not identical. Bacteriostatic Water is water preserved with benzyl alcohol. "Reconstitution solution" is a general term for any diluent used to dissolve a lyophilized research compound, which may or may not contain a preservative. Bacteriostatic Water is one preserved diluent option used for reconstitution in research settings.
Does Bacteriostatic Water need to be refrigerated, and how should it be stored?
Unopened vials do not require refrigeration; store them at controlled room temperature (20°C to 25°C / 68°F to 77°F). After first access, store under refrigeration (2°C to 8°C / 36°F to 46°F) and do not freeze. Every batch is third-party tested in the US, with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis available for verification.
How long does Bacteriostatic Water last, and does it expire?
Unopened, it is stable until its labeled expiration date. Once a vial has been accessed, remaining contents should be discarded within 28 days, in line with standard laboratory handling for a multi-use preserved solution.
Is Bacteriostatic Water intended for human or clinical use?
No. This product is for research use only and is not formulated or intended for clinical, therapeutic, injectable, or any human or veterinary use. It has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not a drug, food, cosmetic, or dietary supplement. It is supplied only to qualified research professionals for in vitro laboratory research, and KYC verification is required prior to fulfillment. Any use outside of controlled in vitro research is strictly prohibited.
