Overview
Bacteriostatic water is sterile, non-pyrogenic water that contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol. The benzyl alcohol is a preservative that holds back the growth of most bacteria, so the vial can be entered more than once without the remaining water being spoiled.
What it is used for: in the lab, bacteriostatic water is the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides and other powdered research compounds. Adding a measured volume to a sealed vial of powder turns it back into a solution of known concentration, ready for laboratory work. Because it is preserved, one 10 mL vial can be used to prepare several vials of research material.
How it differs from plain sterile water: sterile water without a preservative is meant to be used once and thrown away after opening. Bacteriostatic water is made for multi-use, which is why it is the usual choice when the same vial will be drawn from several times.
Supplied for laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use.
