Bacterial Static Water, 10ml

Bacterial Static Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation to reconstitute and dilute various injectable compounds. This specialized water contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, which inhibits bacterial growth and allows for multiple uses from a single vial over a 28-day period.
 
The key advantage of bacteriostatic water is its multi-use capability. Unlike regular sterile water, which must be discarded after a single use, bacteriostatic water can be accessed multiple times within a month, making it more convenient and cost-effective for those who frequently prepare injectable solutions. This is particularly useful when reconstituting peptides, hormones, or other performance-enhancing substances that require regular administration.
 
The sterile, nonpyrogenic nature of bacteriostatic water ensures that it's safe for injection when used properly. The pH range of 4.5 to 7.0 (with a typical pH of 5.7) makes it compatible with a wide range of injectable compounds.
 
When using bacteriostatic water, it's crucial to follow proper sterile techniques. Always use aseptic methods for withdrawing from the vial, and ensure that you mix thoroughly when diluting or dissolving substances. While the benzyl alcohol preservative prevents bacterial growth, it's still important to inspect the solution before each use and discard any unused portion after 28 days as a precautionary measure.
 
It's important to note that bacteriostatic water should not be injected on its own, as this can lead to hemolysis (rupturing of red blood cells). Always use it as a diluent for other injectable substances according to their specific instructions.
