Frequently Asked Questions
What is bacteriostatic water used for?▼
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used in the lab to reconstitute lyophilized peptides. The benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, allowing a vial to be accessed multiple times during research handling.
How is bacteriostatic water different from sterile water?▼
Sterile water contains no preservative and is typically single-use, while bacteriostatic water's benzyl alcohol lets a vial be used across multiple withdrawals. Choice between them depends on your reconstitution protocol.
How should bacteriostatic water be stored?▼
Generally stored at room temperature away from direct light; follow the storage window on the vial and your lab's handling protocols.
Is this for research use only?▼
Yes — supplied in Canada for laboratory and research use, not for human or veterinary use or consumption.
