Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL

Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL for Laboratory Research

Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is supplied in a sealed, multi-use vial for laboratory research applications that require the controlled reconstitution or dilution of research compounds.

The 10 mL format provides researchers with a practical volume for repeat laboratory workflows. The bacteriostatic preservative helps inhibit microbial growth after the vial is first accessed when appropriate aseptic laboratory handling procedures are followed.

Research Applications

Bacteriostatic water is commonly selected in laboratory settings when a research protocol calls for a sterile diluent with a bacteriostatic preservative. It may be used to prepare research compounds for analytical, stability, handling, or other controlled in-vitro research workflows. Researchers should always follow the specifications and handling requirements associated with the compound being studied.

Handling and Storage

Store the vial at controlled room temperature and protect it from excessive heat and direct light. Use clean laboratory technique whenever accessing the vial. Before use, inspect the container and solution. Do not use the product if the seal is damaged or if the solution appears cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.

Use only calibrated laboratory equipment when measuring or transferring liquid. Avoid touching sterile contact surfaces, and follow the storage and disposal procedures established by your laboratory. Product suitability, handling intervals, and experimental conditions should be determined by a qualified researcher according to the applicable protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does bacteriostatic mean?

Bacteriostatic describes a formulation designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria. This product contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as its bacteriostatic preservative.

How much bacteriostatic water is in each vial?

Each vial contains 10 mL of bacteriostatic water.

What is this product intended for?

This product is intended only for controlled laboratory research, including research workflows involving the reconstitution or dilution of research compounds.

How should the vial be stored?

Store it at controlled room temperature away from excessive heat and direct light. Follow your laboratory’s handling protocol and inspect the vial before use.

Why Choose Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL?

A clearly specified diluent supports repeatable laboratory planning. This bacteriostatic water 10 mL vial identifies both the fill volume and preservative concentration, allowing researchers to document the materials used in each workflow. The multi-use format can also be practical for research programs that require several measured transfers from the same vial under controlled conditions.

Before beginning a study, confirm that bacteriostatic water is appropriate for the research compound and protocol. Record the product name, lot information, date first accessed, transfer volume, and relevant storage conditions in the laboratory record. Consistent documentation helps researchers trace materials and compare observations across repeat experiments.

Quality-Focused Research Workflow

Prepare a clean work area and gather calibrated measuring equipment before opening the vial. Inspect all materials, verify labels, and avoid cross-contamination between compounds. Researchers should establish their own acceptance criteria and use conditions based on the objectives of the study.
