Sterile water for laboratory use containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol (C7H8O) as a preservative, supplied in a sealed multi-dose vial for use as a diluent with lyophilized research compounds. For laboratory research use only — not for human use.

Benzyl alcohol is bacteriostatic: at 0.9% it suppresses bacterial growth, allowing repeated sterile withdrawals from the same sealed vial within laboratory protocols.

Handling & storage

  • General storage: Store away from direct sunlight, keep in cool dry conditions.
  • Long-term storage (lyophilised powder): -20 °C
  • Temperature cycling: Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles; aliquot before freezing.

Allow the sealed vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
