Thirty millilitres of sterile water, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, supplied in a glass vial for laboratory reconstitution of research samples. The vial is sealed and intended for repeat puncture within a limited window. One volume is offered: 30 mL.
This is a diluent, not a test article. Laboratories hold it at room temperature on the bench or in a reagent cupboard, away from light, alongside the samples it will be used to reconstitute. The preservative content is fixed at 0.9% benzyl alcohol, so the composition is the same from one lot to the next.

How to store the 0.9% benzyl alcohol diluent
Keep the vial upright at 20–25 °C and out of direct light. Freezing is not appropriate for this solvent, so it should not be placed in a freezer or against a freezer wall. Once the stopper has been punctured, note the date and discard the vial 28 days later. Inspect the seal on arrival and log the lot number against the samples the diluent is used with, so each laboratory record traces back to a single 30 mL vial.
A certificate of analysis is available per lot. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Common questions

The vial should be discarded 28 days after first puncture. Recording the puncture date on the label keeps that limit traceable in laboratory records.
What temperature should this diluent be held at?
Store at 20–25 °C, protected from light. Do not freeze.
Where does the order ship from, and what documentation comes with it?
Vials ship from Richmond, BC with tracking, and a certificate of analysis is available per lot. The product is supplied for research use only; not for human or veterinary use.
