Bacteriostatic Water 30ml

Original price was: $30.00.Current price is: $25.00.

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of distilled water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol ($C_7H_8O$) added as a bacteriostatic preservative. In a laboratory environment, it is the standard solvent used for the reconstitution of lyophilized peptides to ensure multi-dose stability and prevent microbial growth.

Research Focus:

  • Preservation Kinetics: Investigating the efficacy of benzyl alcohol in inhibiting the metabolic activity and reproduction of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

  • Peptide Solubility: Studying the dissolution rates of various lyophilized compounds to ensure a homogenous solution for precise measurement.

  • Long-Term Stability: Evaluation of how the bacteriostatic agent maintains the integrity of a reconstituted solution over a 28-day research window compared to sterile water.

Technical Specifications:

  • Ingredients: Sterile Water, 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol.

  • pH Range: Approximately 4.5–7.0.

  • Format: Laboratory-grade diluent.


⚠️ Critical Research Guidelines:

  1. Multi-Use Limit: While the preservative inhibits bacterial growth, research protocols generally dictate that a vial should be discarded 28 days after the initial puncture to ensure maximum purity.

  2. Temperature Sensitivity: Reconstituted solutions using this diluent should be stored at 2°C to 8°C to prevent peptide degradation (unless otherwise specified by the research protocol).

  3. Compatibility: Not all compounds are compatible with benzyl alcohol; always verify the chemical requirements of the specific peptide before reconstitution.

⚠️ STRICTLY FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY: This product is a laboratory reagent intended solely for scientific research and in-vitro evaluation. It is NOT for human consumption, injection, or any form of therapeutic/clinical use. Use only in a controlled laboratory setting by qualified personnel.

Description

Bacteriostatic Water (30 mL): For Peptide Reconstitution in Research Applications
Bacteriostatic water is a specialized sterile water solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, designed to inhibit bacterial growth and maintain sterility. It is widely used in laboratory settings for reconstituting peptides and diluting powdered substances. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol ensures the solution remains stable, as long as sterile techniques are followed. Unlike standard sterile water, bacteriostatic water is uniquely formulated to prevent bacterial contamination.

Unit Size: 30 milliliters

Key Features and Benefits

  • Sterile and Safe: Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol to prevent bacterial growth, ensuring long-term stability.
  • Multi-Use: Can be drawn multiple times, reducing waste and cost.
  • Superior to Antibacterial Agents: Benzyl alcohol is more effective due to its distinct properties compared to other antibacterial additives.
  • Research Use Only: This product is intended solely for laboratory research purposes and is not for human or veterinary use.
