Antibacterial Water, more accurately described as Bacteriostatic Water when formulated with benzyl alcohol, is a preserved aqueous solution intended for controlled laboratory and analytical applications.

A commonly referenced research formulation contains deionized water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The benzyl alcohol functions as a bacteriostatic preservative within the solution.

Because this product is a formulated mixture rather than a single peptide or molecular entity, it does not have one overall CAS number, molecular formula, molecular weight, or amino-acid sequence.

Research Applications

The solution may be used in controlled research workflows involving:

  • Aqueous sample preparation
  • Research solution handling
  • Solubilization studies
  • In-vitro formulation research
  • Laboratory dilution procedures
  • General analytical preparation

Suitability should always be determined according to the properties of the specific material and the applicable research protocol.

Composition Information

A commonly referenced research formulation contains:

  • Deionized Water
  • Benzyl Alcohol: 0.9%

Exact formulation should be confirmed from the product label and lot-specific documentation. Current DailyMed research-use labeling for a 0.9% benzyl alcohol solution states that the product is intended for research use and is not for injection, skin application, or oral intake.

Analytical Identification

Relevant documentation may include:

  • Water quality specification
  • Benzyl alcohol concentration
  • Sterility or microbiological specifications
  • Component identity
  • Lot or batch information
  • Certificate of Analysis
  • Storage requirements

Since this is a formulated solution, technical documentation should focus on composition and quality specifications rather than peptide-style sequence information.

Specifications & Documentation

Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:

  • Product identity
  • Water specification
  • Preservative concentration
  • Microbiological or sterility data
  • Analytical testing
  • Lot or batch identification
  • Certificate of Analysis
  • Storage requirements

Authenticated product-specific documentation should take precedence over generic formulation information.

Storage & Handling

Store according to the conditions stated on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Keep the container sealed and protect the product from contamination or unsuitable environmental conditions.

Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for preserved aqueous research solutions.

Research Use Only
