Research Context
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. In laboratory practice it is the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilized peptide cakes: the preserved solution suppresses bacterial growth after the vial is first opened, so a reconstituted peptide stock can be handled across multiple working sessions without introducing contaminants at each draw.
The practical reason this matters is that lyophilized peptides are hygroscopic and must be reconstituted only in a clean, defined diluent. Using an unpreserved diluent is fine for a single-use preparation, but a multi-draw working stock is better served by a preserved solution — which is precisely the situation for a laboratory running repeated assays from one peptide vial.
Bacteriostatic water should not be assumed inert for every purpose. Benzyl alcohol is incompatible with some analytes and cell systems, so protocols that require a strictly preservative-free diluent use sterile water or saline instead. Where preservative tolerance is not a concern, bacteriostatic water is the simpler choice.
Each 10 ml vial is supplied sealed and sterile, and pairs with the lyophilized peptides on this catalogue.

Laboratory Handling
Swab the septum before each withdrawal and keep the vial sealed when not in use. Do not freeze bacteriostatic water; store at room temperature away from light. When reconstituting a peptide, add the diluent down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently — never vortex. Where your assay requires a preservative-free diluent, use sterile water or saline instead.
How It Differs From Related Compounds
This is the only non-peptide item on the catalogue: it is a diluent, not an active research material, and it is ordered alongside a peptide rather than instead of one. Standard delivery times and Canada-wide shipping apply to it exactly as they do to every peptide. All of our research peptides are supplied as lyophilized powder and require reconstitution with bacteriostatic water before use, making sterile water a standard supporting purchase for most research protocols.

Customer Reviews
Good, wish for bulk pricing
I order a lot of these. A multi-vial discount would be nice. Quality is never an issue though.
Lina K.
Good for storage
The benzyl alcohol extends the stability of reconstituted peptides which is exactly why I need it. Well made product.
Eric L.
Does what it should
It's bac water. Sterile, preserved, works. The 10ml size is practical. Nothing to complain about.
Cara D.
Exactly what you need
Good quality bac water is essential for reconstitution and this is properly sterile. The benzyl alcohol is at the right concentration. Never had a contamination issue.
Mike R.
Consistent quality
Every vial sterile and properly preserved. pH is right, concentration is accurate. Reliable for all my reconstitution needs.
Sam P.
Wish it came in 30ml too
10ml is fine for most uses but sometimes I need more volume. A 30ml option would be handy. The quality is solid though.
