Research Supplies
Bacteriostatic water and insulin syringes for laboratory reconstitution and handling workflows, shipped from Ontario with the rest of your order.
About Research Supplies
Research supplies are the consumables used alongside lyophilized peptides in the lab. Bacteriostatic water is supplied in a 10 mL multi-dose vial and is commonly used as a diluent when reconstituting freeze-dried compounds for in-vitro work. Insulin syringes come in a box of 100, 30G with an 8mm needle, for measuring and transferring small liquid volumes.
Lyophilized peptides are generally kept cold, dry and away from light until use. Once reconstituted, solutions are usually refrigerated and handled with clean technique to limit contamination, and each vial is labelled with its contents and reconstitution date. Our storage and handling guide covers these steps in more detail.
Bacteriostatic water is a liquid, so it can freeze in transit during the coldest months. Consider this when ordering in winter.
Testing and documentation
Each peptide lot is tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. Certificates are published by lot in our certificate of analysis library, and our guide explains how to verify a COA against the lot number on your vial. See the certificate of analysis library and how to verify a COA.

Frequently asked questions
What size is the bacteriostatic water vial?
Bacteriostatic water is supplied in a 10 mL multi-dose vial.
What gauge and length are the insulin syringes?
The syringes are 30G with an 8mm needle, sold in a box of 100.
Can bacteriostatic water freeze during shipping?
Yes. As a liquid it can freeze and the vial can crack in very cold weather, so winter orders are shipped at the buyer's own risk.
