Bacteriostatic Water 10ml
10mlsSterile bacteriostatic water for reconstituting lyophilised research peptides, containing benzyl alcohol to inhibit microbial growth across multiple withdrawals.
Overview
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, an additive that inhibits the growth of bacteria and allows a vial to be used for multiple withdrawals over time.
It is the standard diluent used to reconstitute lyophilised research peptides in the laboratory and is supplied as a 10ml vial.
Mechanism of action
The benzyl alcohol content prevents microbial proliferation in the reconstituted solution, extending the usable window compared with plain sterile water.
It dissolves lyophilised peptide powder into a stable solution suitable for accurate laboratory measurement.
Research highlights
Bacteriostatic water is the reference diluent across virtually all peptide research protocols requiring reconstitution of a lyophilised powder.
Reference dosing
Used to reconstitute research peptides at the concentration specified by your protocol. Reconstituted vials should be stored appropriately. This is a laboratory diluent, not for human use.
Storage & handling
Store at room temperature away from direct light. Once opened, keep refrigerated and observe the manufacturer usage window.

Frequently asked questions
Why use bacteriostatic water instead of sterile water?
The benzyl alcohol in bacteriostatic water inhibits microbial growth, allowing a reconstituted vial to be used for multiple withdrawals over a longer period.
What is bacteriostatic water used for?
It is used to dissolve (reconstitute) lyophilised research peptides into a stable solution for laboratory work.
