Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water is listed as Hospira Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP, in a 30 mL vial containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol.

For laboratory work, it is a diluent whose suitability depends on the compound and assay. Preservative compatibility must be considered when designing experiments.

Key Laboratory Applications

  • Laboratory dilution workflows
  • Diluent compatibility
  • Preservative-sensitive assays
  • Sample preparation

Function and Compatibility

Water provides the aqueous vehicle, while benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic preservative. A preservative does not make an incompatible preparation suitable or replace aseptic handling.
