Description
Product Overview
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous laboratory diluent containing benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative.
The preservative helps inhibit bacterial growth after a container has been accessed, making bacteriostatic water useful in controlled research workflows where repeated withdrawals or preparation steps may be required.
Pronoia supplies this product in a 10ml format for laboratory dilution, reconstitution and preparation of compatible research materials.

Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) documentation are available.
Research Context
Bacteriostatic Water is used in laboratory settings as an aqueous preparation medium for compatible research materials.
Typical research applications include:
- Reconstitution of compatible lyophilised research materials
- Controlled laboratory dilution procedures
- Preparation of aqueous research solutions
- Experimental workflows requiring repeated withdrawals from a prepared container
The term bacteriostatic refers to the presence of a preservative that inhibits bacterial growth; it does not mean that normal aseptic laboratory handling can be disregarded.
Storage & Handling
Bacteriostatic Water should be stored in accordance with the applicable product and batch documentation.
The current Pronoia specification uses controlled ambient laboratory storage in the region of 20–25°C. The container should remain securely closed and protected from unnecessary contamination or unsuitable environmental exposure.
Appropriate aseptic laboratory technique should be used whenever the container is accessed. Researchers should follow their own validated procedures for preparation, storage and use of any resulting research solution.
