Buy Mixing Water / Bacteriostatic Preservative

Mixing Water

Mixing water for research is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is supplied in a multiple-dose container from which repeated withdrawals may be made to dilute or dissolve Peptides for research.

The pH is 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0). Store at 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F)

Bacteriostatic Water

The second type of water used for mixing and injecting medications is called bacteriostatic water. Bacteriostatic water is sterilized water that also contains benzyl alcohol. The benzyl alcohol in the water will prevent bacterial growth, which is what the term “Bacteriostat” refers to. Bacteriostatic Water has a shelf life up to 28 days after opening the bottle.

Sterile Water

Sterile water is used for any application that requires the use of bacteria-free, fungi-free, and spore-free water. Using sterilized water reduces the risks for contamination, which is obviously important any time you are mixing or injecting medication or as the microorganisms contained in non-sterile water will alter lab research results. Sterile water can be used for mixing and injecting medication provided you are only going to use it once. As soon as the sterilized container or bottle is opened, the water is exposed to the air and can become contaminated. Sterile water should be used for single-dose applications only as the water has no preservatives to lengthen its shelf-life.
