Description
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water solution containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol (0.9%), used in laboratory environments to reconstitute and dilute research compounds, including peptides.
It is specifically designed to inhibit bacterial growth, allowing for multi-use applications under controlled laboratory conditions. This makes it a standard component in peptide research workflows where precision, sterility, and stability are essential.
In research settings across Ireland and Europe, bacteriostatic water is commonly used for:
- Reconstitution of lyophilised peptides
- Dilution of research compounds
- Maintaining solution stability over time
- Supporting controlled laboratory preparation processes
This product is supplied as a high-quality laboratory reagent, intended strictly for scientific and research use.
