Bacteriostatic water

What it is

Bacteriostatic water is a laboratory solvent: sterile water with benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostat. It is not a peptide. Volume 3 ml or 10 ml.

What research explores

• Reconstitution of lyophilized powders on the bench
• Dilutions and controls in laboratory protocols
• Comparison with sterile water without bacteriostat
• Solvent-handling good practice

Studies

Not applicable as a “peptide under study.” It is an auxiliary reagent; relevant literature concerns solvents and microbial control in multi-dose laboratory vials.

Reported effects

There is no biological “product effect” — only solvent function. Benzyl alcohol inhibits microbial growth in the vial after opening, under manufacturer conditions.

In the literature

Volumes and reconstitution techniques are set by the laboratory protocol and the peptide lot sheet. CodePept does not publish reconstitution instructions for people.
