Bacteriostatic Water

Description

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection contains 0.9% w/v benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative dissolved in sterile water, a formulation widely employed in research laboratories for the reconstitution and serial dilution of lyophilized peptides, proteins, and other analytical reference materials. The preservative action of benzyl alcohol inhibits microbial proliferation, permitting repeated aseptic access to a reconstituted vial over an extended period under appropriate refrigerated storage conditions.

Research facilities routinely use bacteriostatic water as an inert, chemically compatible vehicle when preparing peptide stock solutions for in vitro cell culture assays, receptor binding experiments, and in vivo animal model studies. Correct reconstitution of lyophilized research peptides with an appropriate diluent is essential for maintaining compound integrity, achieving accurate concentration targets, and ensuring reproducibility across experimental protocols. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
