Summary
Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. Used to safely reconstitute lyophilized peptides for research.
2. What It Does
Primary functions
- Reconstitutes lyophilized peptides
- Prevents bacterial growth in multi-use vials
- Maintains peptide stability
Secondary effects
- Allows accurate, repeatable dosing for research
- Extends usable life of reconstituted vials
Biological pathways
- N/A — solvent, not a bioactive peptide
Mechanisms of action
- Benzyl alcohol disrupts bacterial cell membranes, preventing growth across multiple punctures of a vial
3. How It Works
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The preservative prevents bacterial colonization, allowing the same vial to be used safely across multiple research draws.
It is the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides intended for repeat-use research applications.
4. Benefits
Sterility
Prevents microbial growth in multi-use vials.
Stability
Maintains peptide integrity after reconstitution.
Repeatable dosing
Enables accurate research measurements over time.
