Bacteriostatic water is a sterile solution of water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, a preservative that inhibits the growth of bacteria. In the laboratory it is used as a solvent to reconstitute lyophilized peptides and compounds. NeoPeptidos offers it as a supply for research use.

What is Agua Bacteriostatica?
Unlike plain sterile water, bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol, which allows the vial to be used on several occasions while keeping the solution protected from microbial contamination for a period. It is the reference solvent for reconstituting lyophilizates in research.
Research context
Bacteriostatic water is not a study compound in itself, but a supply that accompanies the handling of lyophilized peptides. For the reconstitution procedure, see the corresponding guide.
This supply is offered exclusively for laboratory research use.
Handling and reconstitution
See the reconstitution guide and the storage guide.
Quality and traceability
≥99% purity by HPLC and batch COA. See quality control.
