BAC Water 3ml
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, an additive included to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The benzyl alcohol gives the water its bacteriostatic property — it suppresses microbial growth within a sealed vial, which allows the vial to be accessed more than once under laboratory conditions. ITide Labs supplies it in 3ml and 10ml sterile glass vials. Unlike plain sterile water, which is intended for single use, bacteriostatic water is formulated for multi-draw use in a research setting. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration is the standard preservative level used for this category of reagent. The water itself is purified and sterile-filtered before the preservative is added and the vial is sealed. In laboratory settings, bacteriostatic water is used as a general-purpose diluent and reagent. Its bacteriostatic property makes it particularly suited to situations where a prepared solution is accessed over a period of time rather than used in a single sitting, since the benzyl alcohol limits microbial growth between uses. Bacteriostatic water is supplied as a general laboratory reagent. ITide Labs supplies it strictly as a research reagent intended for laboratory research purposes by qualified professionals.
