Bacteriostatic water is a sterile aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol (BAC), supplied as a laboratory reference material. Benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic agent that inhibits the growth of common microorganisms in a closed system, allowing multiple withdrawals under laboratory conditions when aseptic procedures are followed.
