Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. Laboratory diluent.
A general-purpose laboratory diluent: sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol so that a sealed vial can be drawn from more than once without supporting bacterial growth between draws.
Supplied as a standalone laboratory consumable. It is not bundled with, recommended for, or cross-sold against any other product in this catalogue, and nothing here should be read as guidance on what to use it with.
Choice of diluent is a decision for your own validated method. Benzyl alcohol is not compatible with every assay or every analyte.
Store sealed at controlled room temperature, 20–25 °C. Do not freeze.
Discard 28 days after the closure is first punctured, regardless of remaining volume.
Do not use if the solution is discoloured, cloudy, or shows particulate matter.
Benzyl alcohol interferes with some analytical methods. Confirm compatibility before use in any quantitative work.
Every lot ships with a certificate of analysis matched to the lot number on the vial. How lots are assayed and documented.
