Bacteriostatic Water 3ml

Sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of water containing 0.9% (9mg/ml) benzyl alcohol. This essential laboratory solvent is engineered for the safe reconstitution and prolonged stability of lyophilized research peptides.

Preservation & Stability Protocol

Bacteriostatic Water is fundamentally distinct from standard sterile water. The precise addition of 0.9% benzyl alcohol creates an environment that actively halts the reproduction of microorganisms. This mechanism is mandatory for multi-dose vials, allowing researchers to safely draw from a reconstituted peptide suspension multiple times without risking bacterial contamination or rapid sequence degradation.

0.9%
Bacteriostatic Agent

Benzyl alcohol acts as a potent preservative, disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting microbial replication within the sealed vial environment.

28
Days Viability Limit

Maintains optimal pH and solvent conditions, extending the effective research life of reconstituted peptide chains up to 28 days under refrigeration.

Structural Blueprint

Unlike simple sterile water, this formulation contains exactly 9mg/ml of benzyl alcohol. This precise ratio is universally recognized as the gold standard for maintaining delicate amino acid sequences in a stable liquid suspension without causing denaturization or structural cleavage.

Benzyl Alcohol Structure

Solvent Benchmarks
  • Base Origin: Sterile Water for Injection
  • Active Preservative: Benzyl Alcohol 9mg/ml
  • Primary Application: Lyophilized Reconstitution
  • Vial Configuration: Multi-Dose Capability
  • Tonicity: Hypotonic (prior to solute addition)

Key Laboratory Parameters

In laboratory settings, Bacteriostatic Water is the required solvent for any protocol involving repeated vial entries. Researchers depend on its specific formulation to ensure Sequence Integrity and Osmotic Balance during extended testing phases.

Solubility Maximization
Provides an ideal aqueous environment for the rapid dissolution of lyophilized powder pucks without aggressive agitation.
Contamination Defense
Forms a protective chemical barrier against airborne pathogens introduced during routine syringe aspiration.

Laboratory Protocol & Handling
Storage & Stability
Supplied in sealed glass vials to maintain sterility and prevent chemical leaching.

  • Unopened Storage: Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
  • Temperature Warning: Do not freeze. Freezing compromises the container and solution.
  • Post-Puncture: Once the seal is punctured, discard the vial after 28 days.
Handling SOP
Strict adherence to aseptic techniques is required to maintain the 28-day viability period.

  • Preparation: Swab the rubber stopper with an alcohol wipe before every entry.
  • Extraction: Use a new, sterile syringe for each withdrawal.
  • Unit Sizes: 3ml precision configurations tailored for individual peptide vials.

Strict Laboratory Compliance Notice

WARNING: This solvent is supplied exclusively for the reconstitution of chemicals in in-vitro and in-vivo laboratory research. It is NOT intended for direct human or veterinary administration. Lawful handling and appropriate aseptic techniques are the sole responsibility of the professional user.
