Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water: Sterile Diluent for Peptide Reconstitution

For researchers working with lyophilized peptides, proper reconstitution is essential to maintain stability, potency, and sterility. Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, specifically formulated for the reconstitution of injectable research compounds. This Dragon Pharma Bacteriostatic Water 10mL offering provides researchers with a premium sterile diluent for peptide reconstitution, multi-dose vial use, and laboratory applications requiring bacteriostatic properties.

Bacteriostatic Water functions as a sterile diluent that maintains the integrity of reconstituted peptides over multiple uses. The addition of 0.9% benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic preservative, inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the solution after the vial has been opened, allowing for multiple withdrawals over time. Research guidelines published by the FDA and USP standards specify that bacteriostatic water is appropriate for reconstituting multi-dose vials when sterility must be maintained over multiple uses. This makes it the preferred diluent for research protocols involving lyophilized peptides that require repeated dosing from a single vial.

The relevance of bacteriostatic water to the athletic and bodybuilding research community is significant. Peptides used in research—including growth hormone secretagogues, melanocortins, and regenerative compounds—are typically supplied as lyophilized powders that require reconstitution before use. Bacteriostatic water ensures that once reconstituted, the peptide solution remains sterile and stable for extended periods, typically up to 28-30 days when stored properly in a refrigerator. This allows researchers to prepare multiple doses from a single vial without compromising sterility. The 10mL size is the standard volume for peptide reconstitution and is compatible with most research protocols.

Quality assurance is paramount in research supplies. Each batch of our Bacteriostatic Water inventory is manufactured under strict sterile conditions and meets USP standards for sterility and endotoxin levels. The solution is sterile filtered (0.22 µm) and filled in sterile vials to ensure purity. All products are shipped with appropriate packaging to maintain integrity.

For researchers conducting peptide studies, bacteriostatic water is an essential laboratory supply. Its bacteriostatic properties allow for multi-dose vial use, reducing waste and simplifying research protocols. Whether reconstituting BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone peptides, or other research compounds, Dragon Pharma's Bacteriostatic Water delivers the sterility, stability, and reliability required for serious laboratory research.

Usage Guidelines

Bacteriostatic Water is supplied as a sterile, ready-to-use solution in a 10mL multi-dose vial. To reconstitute lyophilized peptides, use a sterile syringe to withdraw the desired volume of bacteriostatic water and inject it into the peptide vial, directing the stream against the glass wall to avoid damaging the lyophilized powder. Gently swirl—do not shake—until the solution is clear. The bacteriostatic preservative allows for multiple withdrawals from the same vial over a period of up to 28-30 days when stored properly in a refrigerator. Always use aseptic technique when withdrawing solution to maintain sterility. Discard any unused solution after 28 days or if the solution appears cloudy or contains particulates.

For researchers building complete peptide research kits, bacteriostatic water is an essential component. Consider exploring the following Dragon Pharma products to enhance your research:

• BPC 157: A regenerative peptide requiring bacteriostatic water for reconstitution.
• TB 500: A thymosin beta-4 peptide for tissue repair research.
• Melanotan 2: A melanocortin peptide requiring sterile reconstitution.

Storage Instructions

Store unopened bacteriostatic water vials at room temperature (15-30°C / 59-86°F) away from direct light. After opening, the vial should be stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maintain sterility. Discard any unused solution after 28 days from first use. Do not freeze. If the solution appears cloudy, contains particulates, or has changed color, do not use.
