Storage & Handling
Storage
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile liquid supplied in sealed vials — not a lyophilized powder. Keep vials sealed and away from heat and light until use.
Use
Used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides into solution. Draw with a sterile syringe and add slowly down the vial wall — do not shake.
Stability
Multi-use once opened, thanks to the benzyl-alcohol preservative — no refrigeration needed. Discard if the solution turns cloudy or discolored.
ResearchResearch Overview
Research Overview
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile fluid used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides into solution for in-vitro research. Its 0.9% benzyl-alcohol preservative limits microbial growth, so one vial supports repeated withdrawals. Each lot ships with batch-specific documentation.
