Bacteriostatic Water Sterile (10mL)

Coming Soon
Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is commonly used to dilute or reconstitute medications for injection. The preservative allows for multiple uses from a single vial (multi-dose), as it inhibits bacterial growth during storage. For research purposes only.

Nomenclature & Synonyms

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (BWFI) does not have a specific chemical or development code as it is a sterile diluent. It is commonly referenced in literature for sterile preparation and is primarily known as water with bacteriostatic properties due to the addition of a bacteriostatic agent, typically benzyl alcohol.

Structural Characteristics

As Bacteriostatic Water itself is not a peptide or protein, it does not possess an amino acid sequence. The structure is simply water (H2O), with benzyl alcohol as the bacteriostatic agent.

Molecular Pharmacology

Bacteriostatic water does not engage in classic receptor-mediated pharmacological actions like peptides or small molecules. However, it serves to maintain sterility in multi-use vials by preventing microbial growth through benzyl alcohol's interaction with microbial membranes.

Research Applications

  • Employed as a diluent for various research compounds that require reconstitution before experimental use.
  • Used in experiments demanding sterile conditions without affecting the biological activity of reconstituted compounds.

Technical Properties

Solubility: Water is inherently soluble with a density of approximately 1 g/cm3 at 25°C. Benzyl alcohol, the bacteriostatic agent, is present at a concentration of approximately 0.9%. Stability: It is recommended to store at controlled room temperature and, once opened, should be used within 28 days to ensure sterility if stored under appropriate conditions.

Compliance

For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventive applications.
