Product Details
Description:
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water preparation used as a solvent in laboratory settings. It contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol, which acts as a bacteriostatic preservative by inhibiting the growth of most contaminating bacteria.
In a research context, this solution is essential for the reconstitution of lyophilized (freeze-dried) compounds, such as peptides, for use in *in vitro* experiments. The inclusion of a bacteriostatic agent allows for repeated withdrawals from a single vial while maintaining the sterility and integrity of the reconstituted research solution for approximately 28 days.

- It is NOT intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, diagnostics, or therapeutic applications.
- This solution is intended solely for use as a sterile solvent for the dilution or reconstitution of research compounds for laboratory analysis.
- This product is NOT an FDA-approved drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic or intended for any clinical use.
Handling and Storage
- Storage: Store unopened vials at controlled room temperature, below 30°C (86°F). Protect from light and keep in a dry place.
