Where do u get 0.9% benzyl alcohol
0.9% per ml is the ratio that prevents bacteria from growing in it. I use distilled water when I make mine, you can get by with sterile.
- to make 10 mL of bacteriostatic water, you need 9 units of benzyl alcohol (0.09 mL).
- to make 30 mL of bacteriostatic water, you need 27 units of benzyl alcohol (0.27 mL).
- to make 100 mL of bacteriostatic water, you need 90 units of benzyl alcohol (0.9 mL).
