Peptide Reconstitution Supplies
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, used to reconstitute lyophilized research peptides across multiple withdrawals. This collection carries the reconstitution essentials — tested bacteriostatic water and a complete starter kit — so lyophilized compounds can be prepared correctly for laboratory research use.
What's in This Collection
The 30 mL tested bacteriostatic water is a multi-dose vial whose benzyl-alcohol preservative maintains sterility across repeated punctures for up to 28 days. The Starter Recon Kit bundles insulin syringes, alcohol swabs, and a 30 mL BAC water vial for researchers setting up from scratch.
Bacteriostatic vs Sterile Water
| Type | Preservative | Reuse window |
|---|---|---|
| Bacteriostatic water | 0.9% benzyl alcohol | Multi-dose, up to 28 days |
| Sterile water | None | Single use |
Using These With Research Compounds
Lyophilized peptides — including those in our Tissue Repair and GLP-1 Peptides collections — require reconstitution before laboratory use. Swab the septum before each withdrawal and refrigerate after first use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bacteriostatic water used for? In research settings it is used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides; the benzyl-alcohol preservative allows multiple sterile withdrawals from one vial.
What is the difference between bacteriostatic and sterile water? Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol and supports multi-dose use over 28 days; sterile water has no preservative and is single-use.
What is included in the Starter Recon Kit? Insulin syringes, isopropyl alcohol swabs, and a 30 mL bacteriostatic water vial — the essentials for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds.
How long is bacteriostatic water usable after opening? The preservative typically maintains sterility for up to 28 days after first puncture when handled and stored correctly.
Are these products for human use? No. These supplies are provided for laboratory research and the reconstitution of research-use-only compounds.
