Testing

We Don't Guess.
We Test. Seven Times.

Most bacteriostatic water suppliers conduct minimal quality checks. PureBac runs a 7-point testing protocol on every batch — because a single point of failure is one too many.

Why Testing Matters

The Risks of Unverified Bacteriostatic Water

Endotoxin Contamination

introduces pyrogens that can trigger inflammatory responses in biological models and invalidate experimental results. Standard sterile water testing does not always screen for endotoxins at the sensitivity level required for injectable applications.

Heavy Metal Contamination

from lead, arsenic, mercury, or cadmium can occur during manufacturing if water purification systems are inadequate. These contaminants are invisible to the naked eye and have no odor or taste.

Incorrect Benzyl Alcohol Concentration

is a common issue with counterfeit or poorly manufactured products. Too little and the preservative effect is lost. Too much and the solution becomes harmful to sensitive biological compounds.

Microbial Contamination

can occur during filling, sealing, or storage if sterility protocols are not followed. A vial that appears clear is not necessarily sterile.

PureBac eliminates each of these risks through independent, documented testing.

The 7-Point Protocol

What We Test – and Why It Matters

Purity

We verify that the water base meets USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards for Water for Injection. This confirms the absence of organic and inorganic impurities that could interfere with your research compounds.

Identity

We confirm the exact identity and concentration of benzyl alcohol in the formulation. PureBac contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol — the established standard for bacteriostatic preservation — and we verify this on every batch.

Net Content

We confirm that every 3mL vial contains 3mL and every 10mL vial contains 10mL. Volume accuracy matters when you are calculating precise reconstitution ratios.

Heavy Metals

Using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, we screen every batch for the presence of heavy metals including lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd). All results must fall below USP limits.

Endotoxins

We conduct Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) testing to confirm that every batch is non-pyrogenic. The endotoxin limit for Water for Injection is 0.25 EU/mL — a threshold we verify on every lot.

Sterility
Each batch undergoes sterility testing to confirm the complete absence of aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, and fungi prior to release. PureBac vials are filled and sealed under aseptic conditions.
Variance (Conformity)
We test for batch-to-batch consistency to ensure that every order you place performs identically to the last. Reproducibility is the foundation of reliable research.

Certificates Of Analysis

Your Proof Is One Click Away.

Every batch of PureBac bacteriostatic water is assigned a unique lot number. You can access the full Certificate of Analysis for your specific batch directly on our website — no account required, no request form to fill out.
