Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used in the laboratory to reconstitute lyophilized peptide vials.
Laboratory Spec Sheet
Reagent Synthesis Profile
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which inhibits bacterial growth and allows a reconstituted vial to be used multiple times within a laboratory setting rather than once.
While one 2ml vial ships free with every peptide order on this site, this listing lets you order additional vials separately — useful when reconstituting multiple compounds or replacing a vial that has been fully used.
Each batch is sterility and quality tested before dispatch.
Product FAQ
Do I need to buy this separately?＋
Not necessarily — one free 2ml vial already ships with every peptide order. Buy extra here if you need more.
What does the benzyl alcohol do?＋
It acts as a preservative, inhibiting bacterial growth so a reconstituted vial can be used more than once in the lab.
