High quality benzyl alcohol Bac Water Bacteriostatic Water for injection

Bacteriostatic water for injection (bWFI) is a common diluent for parenteral pharmaceutical products. bWFI is sterile water for injection containing one or more suitable antimicrobial agents to suppress the growth of microbial contaminants. United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph describes bWFI with pH ranging from pH 4.5 to 7.0. Lacking buffering reagents, bWFI has very low ionic strength, no buffering capacity and is prone to sample contamination. These characteristics pose a challenge for accurate bWFI pH measurements which are characterized by long response times and noisy signals, resulting in inconsistent results. The challenging nature of bWFI pH measurement, however, is not fully recognized as pH is generally considered a routine analytical technique. Even with the addition of KCl to increase ionic strength as recommended by the USP bWFI monograph, variability in pH results is still observed without careful consideration of other critical measurement factors. To bring awareness to the challenges associated with bWFI pH measurement, we present a comprehensive characterization of the bWFI pH measurement process that includes an evaluation of probe suitability, measurement stabilization time, and pH meter settings. While these factors may be non-critical and sometimes overlooked when developing pH methods for buffered samples, they can have a significant impact on bWFI pH measurement. We present recommendations that can help reliable bWFI pH measurements for routine execution in a controlled environment. These recommendations also apply to other pharmaceutical solutions or water samples with low ionic strength.

30ml Bacteriostatic water is a great product for any researcher. Unlike normal, sterile water, bacteriostatic water can be used multiple times in a 28-day period. Regular sterile water is single use and must be discarded after opening. 

Many scientists use bacteriostatic water in their experiments. This type of water for injection is a non-pyrogenic water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as a bacteriostatic agent. This makes it so bacteria cannot grow, which is why it can be used over and over again throughout a month.
