Bacteriostatic Water

Description

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, pharmaceutical-grade solution formulated with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as an antimicrobial preservative. In laboratory settings, it serves as a critical diluent used to reconstitute peptide preparations.

As a functional laboratory supply, its primary benefit is enabling the safe, multi-dose utilization of reconstituted peptide stocks. By preventing bacterial growth, it allows researchers to store and reuse the same stock vial over extended periods (typically several weeks at 2–8 °C). This longevity minimizes material waste in experimental workflows that demand repeated dosing.
