About this compound
Molecular Specifications
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for injection preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The benzyl alcohol preservative inhibits bacterial growth in the opened vial, allowing multiple withdrawals over time without sterility compromise — critical for research applications where a single peptide vial may be used across multiple experimental sessions.
Why Bacteriostatic Water for Peptide Reconstitution
Research-grade peptides are supplied as lyophilized powder to maximize stability during storage and shipping. Bacteriostatic water is the standard reconstitution vehicle because:
- The 0.9% benzyl alcohol preserves the reconstituted solution against microbial contamination between uses
- Sterile preparation ensures no introduction of biological contaminants to the research compound
- Physiological compatibility maintains peptide stability in the reconstituted state
- Multi-dose vial format allows repeated withdrawals without re-sterilization
Reconstitution Reference
Add the desired volume of bacteriostatic water to your lyophilized peptide vial by directing the stream toward the glass wall rather than directly onto the powder. Gently swirl — do not shake vigorously — until fully dissolved. Store reconstituted solution at 2–8°C.
Concentration formula: mg/mL = Peptide mass (mg) ÷ BAC water volume added (mL)
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized powder at −20°C for long-term stability; short-term 2–8°C is acceptable. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; keep refrigerated at 2–8°C after reconstitution and use within typical research timelines.

Frequently Asked
Bacteriostatic Water research FAQ
What purity is Bacteriostatic Water tested to?+
Every batch of Bacteriostatic Water is tested by HPLC for purity (≥99% by area) and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is available on this product page.
Is Bacteriostatic Water intended for human use?+
No. Bacteriostatic Water is supplied strictly for laboratory and research-use-only investigation. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, diagnosis, or therapy.
How should Bacteriostatic Water be stored?+
Store the lyophilized powder at −20°C for long-term stability. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within typical research timelines.
Do you ship within the United States?+
Yes. TX Research Peptides ships Bacteriostatic Water domestically within the US with flat-rate shipping. Orders ship from the US for fast delivery to research labs.
