Mechanism of Action & Purpose
Bacteriostatic Water is essential for the reconstitution of lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides. The addition of 0.9% benzyl alcohol acts as a highly effective bacteriostatic agent, inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria. This allows researchers to safely draw multiple doses from the same vial over an extended period (up to 28 days) without risking contamination of the experimental solution.
Key Laboratory Benefits
Prolonged Peptide Stability
Ensures that reconstituted peptides remain stable and biologically active throughout the duration of multi-week research protocols.
Bacterial Growth Prevention
The 0.9% benzyl alcohol actively prevents the introduction and proliferation of airborne or contact microbes during repeated syringe entries.
Optimal Volume for Peptides
The 3/10mL volume is perfectly calibrated for standard 5mg and 10mg peptide vials, allowing for precise dilution ratios (e.g., adding 2mL or 3mL per vial).
Storage & Stability
- Unopened: Store at controlled room temperature (20°C to 25°C). Do not freeze.
- After First Puncture: Refrigerate at 2–8°C alongside the reconstituted peptide.
- Discard: Vials should be safely discarded 28 days after the initial puncture, regardless of remaining volume.
