Hospira Bacteriostatic Water, USP 30mL
Bacteriostatic Water, USP is a sterile, non-pyrogenic pharmaceutical-grade aqueous solution manufactured by Hospira Inc., a Pfizer company operating under current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. This preparation consists of Water for Injection, USP preserved with 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol, which functions as a bacteriostatic antimicrobial agent inhibiting microbial growth in opened containers during laboratory use. The benzyl alcohol preservative permits aseptic withdrawal of aliquots from a single container across multiple experimental sessions while maintaining sterility between uses. This USP-grade water serves as a reconstitution solvent for lyophilized peptides, proteins, and other research compounds requiring sterile aqueous diluents in laboratory settings. Each production lot undergoes terminal steam sterilization and comprehensive quality testing to ensure compliance with United States Pharmacopeia monograph specifications.
