Bacteriostatic Water (30 mL)

Description Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% – 1% Benzyl Alcohol) is a sterile preparation of highly purified water containing benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research use as a diluent or solvent. Researchers utilize this solution primarily for the reconstitution of lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides, proteins, and small molecules. Unlike standard sterile water, the inclusion of benzyl alcohol allows for the inhibition of bacterial proliferation, thereby preserving the integrity of dissolved research materials over extended experimental timelines in multi-use settings. Biochemical Characteristics Chemically, this product is a mixture comprising Oxidane (Water) and Phenylmethanol (Benzyl Alcohol). The benzyl alcohol component functions as a bacteriostat, preventing the replication of bacteria by disrupting cell membrane integrity and inhibiting protein function in potential contaminants. Composition: Sterile Water (H2O) Benzyl Alcohol (C7H8O). Permeability: Universal solvent for hydrophilic research compounds. Stability: Formulated to remain stable and effectively inhibit microbial growth in ambient and refrigerated conditions. Specificity: Inert solvent designed to solubilize compounds without chemically altering the peptide structure or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
