Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing benzyl alcohol at 0.9% as a bacteriostatic preservative, allowing repeated withdrawal from a sealed vial under laboratory conditions. It is supplied here in a 10ml sealed vial.
This listing is for the reagent as a laboratory material. No application, effect or property in humans or animals is stated or implied.
Background
Benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth within the vial, which distinguishes bacteriostatic water from single-use sterile water. It is a general laboratory reagent and is not specific to any compound in this catalogue.
Benzyl alcohol is a hazardous substance under GB CLP and this product must carry appropriate classification and labelling. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before handling.
