Most used preservatives:	mercurials, phenylmercuric nitrate and thimerosal, esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl), phenol, benzyl alcohol, and chlorobutanol.
solid must dissolve completely, leaving no undissolved matter the constituted solution is not significantly less clear than an equal volume of diluent or of purified water contained in a similar vessel and examined similarly. Protein solutions may exhibit an inherent opalescence The constituted solution is free of particulate matter that can be observed on visual inspection.	Completeness/clarity of solutions
