Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing a small amount of bacteriostatic agent, commonly benzyl alcohol, which is used in laboratory and research settings to help inhibit bacterial growth after opening.
Research Areas
Research and laboratory use of bacteriostatic water may include:
- Reconstitution research;
- Dilution and preparation research;
- Laboratory handling and storage research;
- Sterility and contamination-control research;
- Compound preparation research;
- Multi-use vial handling research;
- Preclinical and analytical research.
Bacteriostatic water is used primarily as a laboratory preparation aid and should not be interpreted as a treatment or therapeutic product.
Bacteriostatic Water is supplied by Amino Bound for laboratory research purposes only. It is not intended for human consumption, human administration, veterinary use, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure of any disease or medical condition.
