CAS: Water 7732-18-5 | Benzyl Alcohol 100-51-6

Product overview

NuroLabs Research supplies a sterile 10 mL vial of Bacteriostatic Water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Considered the preferred laboratory diluent over saline, the benzyl alcohol content helps inhibit bacterial growth — reducing contamination risk during ongoing studies.

This makes the vial suitable for repeated withdrawals for up to 28–30 days after first puncture, provided it is stored correctly.
