Lab reagents

This range covers our two diluents: bacteriostatic water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, and 0.6% acetic acid. Both come in sealed 10 ml borosilicate vials with a butyl stopper and an aluminium flip-off cap, and every label carries a lot number, an expiry date and a QR code that opens the product page.

The caps are colour-coded so the two are never confused on the bench: blue for bacteriostatic water, red for acetic acid.

Bacteriostatic water comes in packs of 1, 10 and 50, and unlabelled in packs of 50, 100 and 200 for labs that apply their own labels. Purified and deionised water in 5 L and 25 L drums is joining the range.

Everything is held in UK stock. Orders placed before 3pm, Monday to Friday, are dispatched the same working day.

For laboratory use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
