Product overview
Bacteriostatic Water 30ml is a sterile multi-dose diluent used in the laboratory to reconstitute lyophilized research peptides. Each 30ml vial is filled with water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, allowing repeated punctures over the working window without microbial growth.
This SKU is a utility item for the research bench. It is not a peptide and carries no pharmacological activity of its own.
Reconstitution and storage
This product is itself the diluent. Use sterile technique when withdrawing volume — wipe the stopper with isopropyl alcohol and use a fresh needle for each draw.
Store unopened at room temperature in the original sealed vial. Once the stopper has been punctured, store at 2-8 °C and discard any remaining volume 28 days after first puncture, regardless of remaining quantity. The benzyl-alcohol bacteriostat is validated for that window only.
Kit contents
- 1 × 30ml multi-dose vial of sterile 0.9% benzyl-alcohol bacteriostatic water
- 1 × certificate of analysis (lot-specific)
- 1 × handling insert
Typical research use
In published peptide-handling protocols, lyophilized vials are reconstituted with 1-3 mL of bacteriostatic water per vial to achieve common working concentrations. A single 30ml vial therefore supports reconstitution across many peptide vials within the 28-day post-puncture window.
