Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water

Price range: $10.00 through $20.00

Bacteriostatic Water is a specialized sterile water solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative agent. This pharmaceutical-grade diluent is essential for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and research compounds while maintaining sterility and preventing bacterial growth. Unlike standard sterile water, bacteriostatic water allows for multiple withdrawals from the same vial over extended periods, making it indispensable for research laboratories working with peptides and other sensitive compounds.

Each vial contains sterile, preservative-enhanced water for injection. This product is exclusively for laboratory research and not for human or animal use.

Overview

Bacteriostatic Water represents a critical component in peptide research infrastructure. This carefully formulated solution combines ultra-pure water with benzyl alcohol to create an environment that inhibits bacterial growth while maintaining the integrity of dissolved compounds. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration is precisely calibrated to provide antimicrobial protection without interfering with most research compounds. This balance makes bacteriostatic water the gold standard for reconstituting lyophilized peptides, ensuring both stability and sterility throughout the research process.

This product is strictly for research purposes only. Not approved for human or animal use.

How It Works

Bacteriostatic water functions through multiple protective mechanisms:

Antimicrobial Action

Benzyl Alcohol Mechanism

Disrupts bacterial cell membranes and denatures proteins

Static vs Cidal

Inhibits bacterial growth (bacteriostatic) rather than killing (bactericidal)

Broad Spectrum

Effective against most common laboratory contaminants

pH Stability

Maintains antimicrobial activity across pH range

Peptide Compatibility

Non-reactive

Does not interact with most peptide structures

Stability Enhancement

Helps maintain peptide integrity during storage

Multiple Withdrawals

Allows repeated access without contamination risk

Research Applications

Bacteriostatic water serves multiple critical functions in research:

Peptide Reconstitution

Primary application in peptide research:

Dissolves lyophilized peptides while maintaining structure
Preserves biological activity of sensitive compounds
Enables accurate dosing and dilution
Compatible with most research peptides

Storage Solutions

Extended stability for research compounds:

Allows storage of reconstituted peptides for weeks
Prevents bacterial contamination during storage
Maintains sterility through multiple uses
Reduces waste from single-use preparations

Laboratory Standards

Meeting research quality requirements:

USP-grade water ensures consistency
Low endotoxin levels for sensitive assays
Validated sterility for reproducible results
Documented quality control parameters

Best Practices

Optimal use in research settings:

Use aseptic technique for all withdrawals
Store reconstituted peptides as recommended
Label vials with reconstitution date
Discard if any cloudiness or particles appear

Important Considerations

Key factors for optimal bacteriostatic water use:

Temperature Sensitivity

Store at recommended temperature to maintain sterility

Compatibility Check

Verify peptide compatibility with benzyl alcohol

Expiration Dating

Monitor expiration and discard when expired

Volume Considerations

Calculate appropriate reconstitution volumes

Proper use of bacteriostatic water is essential for maintaining research integrity and reproducibility.

IMPORTANT: This product is exclusively for laboratory research purposes and is not approved for human or veterinary use.
