Bacteriostatic Water – Multi-Size Laboratory Diluent
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous diluent formulated with 0.9% benzyl alcohol (9 mg/mL) as a bacteriostatic preservative to inhibit microbial growth following initial vial puncture. This preserved multi-dose formulation supports repeated sterile withdrawals under aseptic laboratory conditions, making it a widely utilized solution for reconstituting lyophilized research peptides, proteins, and other compatible compounds in controlled scientific environments.
Within peptide and biochemical research workflows, bacteriostatic water is commonly used as a standard reconstitution medium prior to in vitro experimentation, including receptor binding assays, enzymatic analyses, metabolic pathway investigations, cell culture studies, and general laboratory preparation protocols. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol allows researchers to repeatedly access the same vial while minimizing contamination risks during extended experimental use, supporting workflow efficiency and reducing material waste compared to single-use sterile water preparations.
Alamo Peptides offers multiple bacteriostatic water configurations to accommodate a variety of laboratory requirements, ranging from smaller pilot-scale reconstitutions to larger ongoing research operations requiring repeated dilutions and solution preparation. Available options may include compact 3 mL and 10 mL generic laboratory-grade preparations as well as larger pharmaceutical-manufactured 30 mL multiple-dose vials such as Hospira Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP.
Each vial is supplied as a clear, colorless sterile solution packaged in a sealed multi-dose container and produced under controlled manufacturing conditions. Products are selected for compatibility with modern laboratory workflows and are intended to provide dependable sterility, preservative stability, and consistent performance across repeated aseptic withdrawals when handled according to standard laboratory protocols.
Available Options
- 3 mL Bac Water – Compact format ideal for single-project or low-volume laboratory workflows
- 10 mL Bac Water – Standard laboratory multi-dose format suitable for moderate-volume reconstitution protocols
- Hospira 30 mL Bac Water – USP-grade pharmaceutical-manufactured multiple-dose diluent designed for larger-scale or repeated laboratory use
