Description
Bacteriostatic Water Overview
Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which helps inhibit bacterial growth after the vial has been opened. It is commonly used in laboratory and research settings for the reconstitution and dilution of lyophilized compounds intended for research applications.
Research and laboratory protocols have explored Bacteriostatic Water’s role as a sterile diluent for the preparation of peptides, proteins, and other research compounds. Its preservative content allows for multiple withdrawals from the same vial when handled using proper aseptic technique, making it a practical option for repeated laboratory use.
Because of its stability and antimicrobial preservative, Bacteriostatic Water remains a widely used component in research laboratories and pharmaceutical preparation environments. Ongoing use continues to support consistent compound preparation, accurate dilution, and sterile handling practices across a variety of scientific applications.

Good size bac and a great price. I can reconstitute at least 3 peptides with it.
