About Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic water is water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. In laboratory settings it is used as a solvent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and other dry research materials.
Canada Research Labs supplies bacteriostatic water in a 10 mL glass vial, packed and shipped from Ontario.
Why it is used
Lyophilized peptides are shipped as dry powder because they are far more stable that way. Before use in an experiment, the powder is dissolved in a suitable solvent. The benzyl alcohol in bacteriostatic water slows microbial growth in the solution, which is why it is commonly chosen when a reconstituted vial will be accessed more than once.
Some peptides dissolve better in other solvents, such as dilute acetic acid. Researchers should check the solubility characteristics of each compound before reconstitution.
