Product Description
Bacteriostatic Water (BW) is sterile water containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol (BnOH), which is utilized as a bacteriostatic preservative agent. This preservative inhibits the growth of most contaminating bacteria within the solution, making it suitable for drawing multiple doses from a single vial over a period of up to 28 days when proper sterile technique is followed.
It is the standard medium used by researchers to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) research peptides and chemicals into a stable, usable solution for laboratory experiments.
Scientific Research Applications
Bacteriostatic water is an essential utility item in any biochemical research laboratory that utilizes lyophilized peptides or small molecules.
Key applications in the lab include:
- Peptide Reconstitution: Used to dissolve lyophilized peptides like BPC-157, GHK-Cu, or Ipamorelin into a solution for accurate experimental dosing.
- Sterile Dilution: Provides a sterile base for serial dilutions of research chemicals without introducing bacterial contamination that could interfere with in vitro assays or cell cultures.
- Preventing Contamination: The benzyl alcohol preservative is critical for maintaining the integrity of reconstituted solutions during repeated access over several weeks of research.
Technical Specifications
- Sterility: Sterile for injection (filtration process).
- Preservative Action: The 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol concentration maintains bacteriostatic properties for up to 28 days after initial puncture.
- Compatibility: Generally compatible with most standard research peptides, though specific solubility/stability should always be confirmed via research literature.
