Description

Bacteriostatic Water (For Research Use Only)

Sterile 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol Diluent for Laboratory Reconstitution

Overview

OptiBuild Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, laboratory-grade diluent formulated with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. This antimicrobial agent inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the vial to remain viable for up to 28 days after initial puncture when stored properly.

This solution is essential for research settings requiring stable, sterile reconstitution of lyophilized compounds—including peptides, growth-factor analogs, and other biochemical agents intended solely for laboratory research.

All OptiBuild research supplies are produced under strict quality control standards to ensure purity, sterility, and consistency.

What Is Bacteriostatic Water?

Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, providing antimicrobial protection that inhibits bacterial growth.

Key differences from sterile water:

Because of its stability, researchers often select bacteriostatic water as the preferred diluent for multi-withdrawal laboratory protocols.

Why Researchers Use Bacteriostatic Water

1. Peptide Reconstitution

Most research peptides arrive in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form. Reconstitution is required before experimental use.

Bacteriostatic Water may:

• Help maintain sterility during repeated withdrawals

• Support stability of reconstituted peptide solutions

• Reduce risk of microbial contamination

• Allow more precise volumetric dosing

Common peptides requiring reconstitution include:

• BPC-157

• TB-500 / Thymosin analogs

• Epitalon

• CJC-1295 / GHRH analogs

• GHK-Cu

• Other research-only peptides sold on OptiBuild

2. Preparation of Biochemical Solutions

Bacteriostatic water can be used in controlled laboratory environments for:

• Diluting reagents

• Creating reference or control solutions

• Hydrating biological powders

• Maintaining sterile conditions in multi-use workflows

3. Lab Equipment & Instrument Preparation

Researchers may also use bacteriostatic water for:

• Rinsing instruments

• Preparing dilution standards

• Supporting sterile technique in benchtop experiment settings

How to Use Bacteriostatic Water for Research

Step 1 — Prepare Equipment

• Lyophilized peptide or biochemical reagent

• OptiBuild Bacteriostatic Water

• Sterile syringe and needle

• Alcohol wipes

Step 2 — Reconstitution Method

1. Sanitize vial tops with an alcohol swab.

2. Draw the required amount of bacteriostatic water using a sterile syringe.

3. Slowly inject along the inner wall of the peptide vial (avoid foam formation).

4. Gently swirl until fully dissolved—do not shake.

5. Refrigerate reconstituted solutions at 2–8°C (36–46°F).

Note: Stability varies per compound. Refer to individual peptide specifications.

Storage & Stability

Unopened Vial:

• Store at 15–30°C (room temperature).

• Keep away from excessive heat or freezing.

After Opening:

• Refrigerate at 2–8°C

• Use within 28 days of first puncture.

Reconstituted Peptide Solutions:

• Follow specific guidelines for each peptide or biochemical compound.
