Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (USP) is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is used as a diluent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and other compounds.
Unlike sterile water (single-use), bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol which prevents microbial growth after opening, allowing multi-dose use from a single vial for up to 28 days.
Reconstitution volume depends on the peptide and desired concentration. Common volumes range from 1-2mL per vial. Consult your specific research protocol for exact volumes.
At 0.9% concentration, benzyl alcohol has been shown to be compatible with the vast majority of peptides without affecting their stability or biological activity.
Store reconstituted peptide solutions at 2-8°C (refrigerated). Use within the timeframe specified by the peptide manufacturer, typically 14-30 days.
