BAC Water 3ML

Product overview

BAC Water 3ML is a preserved aqueous laboratory diluent containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. It is supplied as clear, colourless liquid in a 3ml catalogue presentation (SKU WA3).

Preserved water can be assessed as a laboratory diluent when it is compatible with the target material and test method. Each laboratory must check the material, concentration, container and assay.

What researchers study

• Dilution and control work in validated laboratory methods
• The effect of benzyl alcohol and different containers
• Solubility and precipitation checks
• Method-specific hold-time testing

Evidence and limitations

Compatibility is not universal. Each laboratory should confirm that the diluent, target material, container and test method work together, and validate any hold time after opening or preparation.

Storage and laboratory handling

Keep the container tightly closed, upright and protected from heat, direct light and contamination. Follow the product label, safety data and batch documentation.

After opening, use clean laboratory technique, record the opening date and do not return dispensed liquid to the original container. The laboratory must validate compatibility and usable life for its method.

Handle only in an appropriately equipped laboratory using suitable personal protective equipment and local disposal procedures.
