BAC Water (Benzyl Alcohol) Analysis

The BAC Water (Benzyl Alcohol) Analysis is a targeted laboratory test designed to confirm the presence and determine the concentration of benzyl alcohol in bacteriostatic water.

The analysis is performed by HPLC, with results reported in milligrams of benzyl alcohol per millilitre of sample.

About Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol commonly used as a preservative in pharmaceutical and laboratory formulations. In bacteriostatic water, it is added to help inhibit microbial growth after a vial has been opened.

This analysis specifically determines the concentration of benzyl alcohol in the submitted liquid sample.

Key Features

• Targeted identification and quantification of benzyl alcohol
• Designed for bacteriostatic water and similar liquid samples
• Analysis by HPLC
• Results reported in mg/ml
• Minimum concentration for evaluation: 1 mg/ml
• Minimum sample amount: 1 ml
• Average turnaround time of 7 business days

Analysis Parameters

• Target compound: Benzyl Alcohol
• Testing method: HPLC
• Minimum concentration of target compound for evaluation: 1 mg/ml

• Average turnaround time: 7 business days

Important Notice

• This analysis is specifically intended for benzyl alcohol in liquid samples. It does not automatically screen the sample for other preservatives, active compounds, contaminants, or undeclared substances.
• Samples containing less than 1 mg/ml benzyl alcohol may not be reliably evaluated within the standard scope of the analysis.
