Bacteriostatic Water for Research is a pharmaceutical-grade sterile water formulation specifically engineered for use as a solvent or diluent in multi-use laboratory applications. This preparation meets United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for non-pyrogenic sterility and is formulated with benzyl alcohol as the bacteriostatic preservative agent to permit repeated aseptic withdrawals from the vial without microbial contamination. Benzyl alcohol, a phenolic compound, functions as a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic and fungistatic preservative at the specified concentration, preventing the growth of vegetative bacteria and fungi while maintaining solution sterility over extended periods. The formulation does not contain therapeutic agents and is designed exclusively for reconstituting, diluting, or dissolving compatible compounds prior to research use. Unlike standard sterile water for research which contains no preservative and must be used immediately after opening, bacteriostatic water maintains sterility through multiple punctures, making it ideal for laboratory applications requiring frequent use or multi-application protocols. The product is supplied in semi-rigid polyolefin vials fabricated from medical-grade copolymer plastic, eliminating the need for vapor barrier protection while maintaining chemical compatibility and preventing solution degradation.
