Bacteriostatic water for research reconstitution

What bacteriostatic water is and how it is used to reconstitute lyophilised research peptides.

What it is

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing a small amount of a preservative that inhibits bacterial growth, which is why it is used to reconstitute lyophilised research peptides into a workable solution.

How it is used

Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the vial wall, let the powder dissolve without shaking, then store the reconstituted vial refrigerated. Our calculator works out the volume to add.

Research use

Reconstitution with bacteriostatic water is part of preparing research material for laboratory and in-vitro study only.
