Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.

Shelf Life: Unopened vials have a shelf life of 24 months when stored properly. Once opened, use within 28 days to maintain sterility.

Handling: Use sterile techniques when handling Bacteriostatic Water to prevent contamination.

Usage: Bacteriostatic Water is typically used for diluting or dissolving peptides for research purposes.

Inhibiting Bacterial Growth

Bacteriostatic Water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as a preservative to prevent bacterial growth. This allows the water to remain sterile for up to 28 days after opening, making it ideal for reconstituting peptides in research settings.

Maintaining Sterility

The benzyl alcohol in Bacteriostatic Water helps maintain the sterility of solutions, ensuring that contaminants do not affect the purity or stability of peptides and other compounds during research.

Solvent for Peptides

Bacteriostatic Water is commonly used to dissolve or dilute peptides, ensuring they are properly reconstituted for use in laboratory research without introducing contamination.
