Bacteriostatic water is sterile water that ordinarily carries 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative; it serves as a diluent for dissolving substances for research purposes and is intended for laboratory research only (Research Use Only).
What is bacteriostatic water?
It is neither a peptide nor an active substance in its own right. The benzyl alcohol preservative is there to inhibit bacterial growth once the vial has been opened, so that multiple withdrawals can be taken from the same vial over time, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Using bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
Its usual role is that of a diluent when powders are reconstituted for research purposes. Having a preservative present does not remove the need for sterile working conditions.
