Overview
What it is.
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used across peptide research to reconstitute lyophilized powders for solution-based research applications.
Research Areas
- Used to reconstitute lyophilized peptide research compounds
- Preserved formulation supports multiple-use reconstitution over the vial's working life

Bacteriostatic Water FAQ
Questions
Bacteriostatic Water FAQ
Why use bacteriostatic water instead of plain sterile water to reconstitute peptides?+
Bacteriostatic water is preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which supports safe multiple-use reconstitution across a vial's working life — plain sterile water is intended for single use and doesn't carry that preservative.
How do the different bottle sizes (3 ml / 10 ml / 30 ml) typically get used across a lab's supply needs?+
The larger multi-dose bottles (10 ml, 30 ml) reduce how many separate diluent containers a lab needs to keep on hand when reconstituting multiple compound vials, while the 3 ml size suits smaller, single-compound research runs.
How should bacteriostatic water itself be stored, and how long does it last once opened?+
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Once punctured, use it within 28 days; unopened shelf life is listed on the lot's Certificate of Analysis.
What testing does this batch undergo?+
Every batch is tested for sterility and endotoxin levels before release. The Certificate of Analysis for that lot ships with your order.
