Bacteriostatic Water 10ml (10 Vials / Kit)

What is Bacteriostatic Water?

Bacteriostatic water is USP-grade water for injection to which a small amount of benzyl alcohol has been added purely as a preservative. It is not a peptide or an active research compound in itself; its role is purely as a solvent and reconstitution vehicle for freeze-dried materials.

This listing is Bacteriostatic Water (10 vials × 10ml) from Limitless BioChem (Europe), sold on Stairway to Gray with escrow: your payment is held until the order arrives and only then released to the brand.

How it is understood to work

Benzyl alcohol at 0.9% inhibits the growth of bacteria that might otherwise be introduced during repeated withdrawals from a shared vial. This lets a single vial be entered multiple times over a study period without the sterile water itself becoming a contamination route, unlike plain sterile water for injection, which is single-use only.

Research status

As a diluent, bacteriostatic water does not have its own research literature; its function is supportive, allowing lyophilized peptides to be brought into solution at a known concentration for downstream laboratory work. Its pH, osmolarity, and preservative concentration follow long-established pharmacopeial standards for injectable diluents.

Handling & storage

Keep vials at controlled room temperature away from light; because it contains benzyl alcohol, it is not appropriate for reconstituting compounds where preservative-free water is specified, and once a vial is opened, treat it as a multi-use stock for the remainder of a study rather than indefinitely.
