Product Overview

Bacteriostatic Water for Research is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of highly purified water ( $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ ) containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol ( $\text{C}_7\text{H}_8\text{O}$ ) added as an antimicrobial preservative.

In laboratory and scientific environments, this solution serves as a crucial transport medium and diluent. The integration of benzyl alcohol effectively inhibits or halts the growth of most inherent bacteria, allowing the solution to be safely accessed multiple times (multi-dose) over an extended period. This makes it the standard reagent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides, proteins, and other sensitive research chemicals that require repeated sampling during in-vitro assays.

Key Laboratory Characteristics

Antimicrobial Stability: The 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration maintains a sterile environment within the vial, preventing contamination from repeated needle entries.
Peptide Preservation: Specifically pH-balanced to complement lyophilized compound structures, mitigating the risk of premature peptide degradation or structural shearing.
Optimal Solubility: Acts as a clean, highly predictable solvent to ensure rapid, uniform dissolution of crystalline powder compounds.

Storage & Handling Guidelines

Storage (Unopened): Store at room temperature ( $15^\circ\text{C}$ to $30^\circ\text{C}$ ). Keep away from direct sunlight and excess heat. Do not freeze.
Storage (Opened/In-Use): Once the rubber stopper is punctured, the vial should be stored under refrigeration ( $2^\circ\text{C}$ to $8^\circ\text{C}$ ) to maximize preservative efficacy.
Expiration Profile: Discard the vial 28 days after the initial needle puncture, as the antimicrobial properties of benzyl alcohol diminish over time once exposed.
