Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic water is a research-grade solvent studied in laboratory research. It is sterile water that contains a preservative and is commonly used for reconstituting research compounds.
Composition
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It has a molecular weight of approximately 18.0 g/mol for the water component.
Research Applications
Bacteriostatic water is used across a range of laboratory settings. Common applications include reconstituting research compounds, preparing solutions and studying formulation processes. The specific application depends on the research question being addressed.
Handling & Storage
Laboratory supplies should be handled with care and stored correctly to preserve quality. Store the material in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. Follow your research protocol for handling and storage.
Use appropriate laboratory safety practices when working with research materials. Keep the material sealed when not in use and avoid exposure to moisture.
