Description
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, the standard solvent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides where a vial needs to stay usable across several withdrawals.
Research context
- Reconstitution solvent for lyophilized peptides
- Multi-withdrawal vials where sterile water is unsuitable
- Supplied in 5ml and 10ml presentations
Handling and storage
Store at room temperature away from light. Once first punctured, keep refrigerated and observe the stated in-use period.
Common questions
How is it different from sterile water?
The benzyl alcohol acts as a preservative, so the vial can be entered more than once. Plain sterile water has no preservative and is single-use.
How much do I need per vial?
That depends on the concentration you want. Our reconstitution calculator works out solvent volume from vial mass and target concentration.
