Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, supplied as a laboratory reagent for reconstituting lyophilised research peptides into solution.
Compound Overview
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The preservative inhibits bacterial growth, which is why the literature distinguishes it from single-use sterile water for laboratory preparations where a vial is accessed more than once. It is supplied in a 3ml vial as a laboratory reagent.
Research Background
Bacteriostatic water is the standard solvent used to reconstitute lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides into solution for laboratory research. Lyophilised compounds are supplied as a dry powder for stability; a solvent is required before they can be used in any solution-phase research application.
