Research overview.
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous preparation containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative. The presence of a bacteriostatic preservative distinguishes it from preservative-free sterile water and allows bacteriostatic water products to be supplied in multi-dose containers.
Pro-Peptides supplies BAC Water in two convenient volumes:
BAC Water — 5mL
BAC Water — 10mL
The product should be used only where bacteriostatic water is appropriate for the intended laboratory application and in accordance with the relevant product documentation.

Important: I wouldn’t state a specific benzyl-alcohol concentration on your listing until you’ve checked the supplier specification/COA. Commercial bacteriostatic water formulations are not universally identical: official products document concentrations including 0.9% (9mg/mL) and 1.1% (11mg/mL).
Important product information
Bacteriostatic Water contains benzyl alcohol, and compatibility depends on the substance with which it is used. Official product information also carries specific warnings concerning benzyl-alcohol exposure, including use in neonates.
