Description

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of Benzyl Alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. This specialized diluent is engineered for the reconstitution of lyophilized peptides and proteins, allowing for multiple withdrawals from a single container while inhibiting the growth of potentially contaminating bacteria.

• Purity: USP Grade

• Preservative: 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol

• Format: Sterile Clear Liquid

• pH Range: 4.5 – 7.0

• Research Target: Peptide Stability & Multidose Reconstitution

In laboratory research, the choice of diluent is critical for maintaining the bioactivity of fragile peptide chains. Unlike standard Sterile Water, which is intended for single-use only, Bacteriostatic Water enables a multidose research window. The presence of Benzyl Alcohol effectively suppresses the proliferation of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, ensuring that the reconstituted compound remains stable and uncontaminated throughout the duration of the study.

Research Observed Advantages

Data from laboratory protocols highlight the following benefits for research models:

• Extended Shelf Life: Lyophilized peptides reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water typically maintain structural integrity and sterility for 28–42 days when refrigerated.

• Microbial Suppression: The 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol concentration provides a robust bacteriostatic environment, preventing “clouding” or degradation caused by accidental bacterial introduction during needle entry.

• pH Optimization: Most research-grade Bacteriostatic Water is slightly acidified to aid in the dissolution and stability of sensitive amino acid sequences.

• High Compatibility: It is the industry-standard solvent for most research compounds, including GLP-1 agonists, GHRHs, and regenerative blends.

Reconstitution & Stability Protocols

To ensure the highest level of research accuracy, the following guidelines should be observed:

• Reconstitution Process: When adding Bacteriostatic Water to a lyophilized powder, the liquid should be aimed at the side of the glass vial. Allow the diluent to run down the glass to prevent “foaming” or denaturation of the peptide.

• Storage (Unopened): Store at controlled room temperature (20°C – 25°C) away from direct sunlight.

• Storage (Opened/In Use): Once the vial has been punctured, it should be stored in a refrigerated environment (2°C – 8°C).

• Expiration: Standard research protocols suggest discarding the vial 28 days after the initial puncture to ensure maximum preservative efficacy.
