Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous solution containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative agent, utilized in laboratory settings for peptide reconstitution and solution preparation. Water (H₂O) functions as the primary solvent, while benzyl alcohol provides antimicrobial properties to inhibit microbial growth in multi-use research applications. Preclinical research utilizes bacteriostatic water to investigate compound stability, dilution accuracy, and solution compatibility under controlled laboratory conditions.

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile laboratory-grade aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is widely used in research environments for peptide and compound reconstitution procedures.
Biochemical Characteristics
The solution consists primarily of purified water serving as a universal solvent. Benzyl alcohol functions as a bacteriostatic agent by inhibiting microbial proliferation, supporting multi-use handling in controlled laboratory environments.
Research Applications
Bacteriostatic Water is utilized in research models for peptide dilution, compound reconstitution, solution stability evaluation, and laboratory formulation preparation under sterile conditions.
Pathway / Mechanistic Context
Mechanistic considerations focus on solvent compatibility, preservative function of benzyl alcohol, and maintenance of sterility during repeated laboratory access.
Preclinical Research Summary
Preclinical and laboratory applications commonly employ bacteriostatic water to ensure consistent solvent conditions for experimental compound preparation and stability assessments.
Form & Analytical Testing
Bacteriostatic Water is supplied as a sterile liquid solution and undergoes quality control testing to verify sterility, preservative concentration, and solution clarity suitable for laboratory research use.
