What Is Bacteriostatic Water?

Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water that contains a small amount of 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as a preservative to help inhibit the growth of bacteria after the vial has been opened. It is commonly used in laboratory and research settings for the reconstitution (mixing) and dilution of lyophilized (freeze-dried) research compounds.

What Is It Made Of?

Bacteriostatic Water consists of:

• Sterile Water for Injection

• 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol (preservative)

The addition of benzyl alcohol helps maintain sterility during multiple withdrawals when handled using appropriate sterile technique.

Common Research Applications

Bacteriostatic Water is commonly used to:

• Reconstitute lyophilized research peptides

• Dilute research compounds to desired concentrations

• Prepare research solutions for laboratory use

• Allow multiple withdrawals from the same vial while maintaining sterility when handled correctly

How Is It Commonly Used?

In research settings, Bacteriostatic Water is added to freeze-dried compounds to create a solution suitable for laboratory protocols. Appropriate sterile handling techniques should always be followed to help maintain product integrity and reduce the risk of contamination.

Storage Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry place before first use.

• After opening, store according to standard laboratory handling procedures.

• Discard if the solution becomes cloudy, discoloured, or if contamination is suspected.
