BACTERIOSTATIC WATER 10 mL

Overview

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is primarily used to dilute or reconstitute peptides, hormones, or other injectable medications before subcutaneous or intramuscular administration in research or clinical settings. The bacteriostatic property of the water helps inhibit bacterial growth, allowing multi-use vials to remain sterile for longer periods compared to regular sterile water.

Key Features

• Volume: 10 mL per vial

• Composition: Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol

• Function: Preservative action prevents bacterial contamination

• Use: Dilution and reconstitution of peptides, hormones, or other injectable compounds

• Storage: Store at room temperature, away from light; do not freeze

Important Considerations

• Single vs. multiple use: Bacteriostatic water can be used to reconstitute multiple doses from a vial due to its preservative, unlike sterile water, which is typically single-use.

• Not for direct injection: It is intended for reconstitution and dilution purposes only, not as a standalone injection unless specified for research or clinical protocols.

• For research use only: Bacteriostatic water used in research settings is not for human consumption unless part of a regulated clinical protocol.
