Bacteriostatic Water 10ml

Description

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol (usually 0.9%), which helps inhibit bacterial growth after the vial has been opened.

It is commonly used as a diluent for certain injectable medications that are supplied as powders or concentrates and need to be mixed before use.

• 💧 Reconstitution: Dissolves compatible powdered medications before administration.
• 🦠 Bacteriostatic preservative: Benzyl alcohol helps reduce bacterial growth after repeated vial entries.
• 💉 Multi-dose use: Unlike plain sterile water, bacteriostatic water is typically supplied in multi-dose containers that can be entered more than once when handled correctly.
• 🧊 Peptide/research applications: In laboratory and research settings, it is commonly used to reconstitute compatible lyophilized peptides.
• ⚠️ Important: It isn’t interchangeable with sterile water or bacteriostatic saline in every application. The appropriate diluent depends on the specific product and its manufacturer’s instructions.

In simple terms: bacteriostatic water is primarily used to dissolve and dilute compatible substances while helping limit bacterial growth in a multi-dose vial.
