About this item

Bacteriostatic water for reconstituting lyophilised peptides, proteins and other bioactive molecules, preserved with benzyl alcohol.

Available as a 15ml plastic vial, a two-pack of 15ml plastic vials, or a 10ml glass vial.

The benzyl alcohol suppresses microbial growth, which is what allows a vial to be sampled more than once. It does not preserve the chemical stability of a dissolved compound and does not make a solution sterile; storage conditions after reconstitution still follow the product documentation. Benzyl alcohol is not inert in every assay, so compatibility should be confirmed for the compound and readout in use.

Supplied to a bacteriostatic water specification of purified water with 0.9% w/v benzyl alcohol, as supplied by our manufacturer.

Peptides are supplied as lyophilised powder to ensure maximum stability.

Supplied as a laboratory reagent for reconstituting research compounds in vitro only. Not for injection or human administration.

Research profile: Bacteriostatic water: composition, reconstitution and handling

Bacteriostatic water is a laboratory reagent rather than a research peptide, so it does not carry a peptide certificate of analysis. Certificates for the compounds it is used with are published at certificates of analysis.

BAC Water questions

What is bacteriostatic water used for?
It is used to reconstitute lyophilised research peptides. It is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which limits microbial growth once the stopper has been pierced. NuVion supplies it as a laboratory reagent for in vitro research only.
How much do I need per vial?
That depends on the stock concentration the work requires. A 10 mg peptide vial reconstituted with 1 mL gives 10 mg/mL, and with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. The full table is in the bacteriostatic water research profile.
Glass or plastic?
Both are supplied. Plastic is a 15ml vial, sold singly or as a two-pack at a lower price per vial. Glass is a 10ml vial, preferred where the solvent will be stored for longer or where plastic compatibility matters to the assay.
How fast will it arrive, and what turns up at the door?
Stock is held in Australia and most orders leave within one business day, arriving in 1 to 2 business days on a tracked express service. Orders go out in plain protective packaging, and every order is tracked from dispatch.
Do you ship this item anywhere in Australia?
Yes. Stock is held in Australia and posted to every state and territory, so nothing crosses a border after you order. Shipping is a $15 flat rate on a tracked express service, free on orders over $200, tracked from the moment the label is printed.
Can I order this item at wholesale volume?
Yes. We supply research groups, institutions and distributors ordering at volume. Get in touch with the quantities you need and we will come back with pricing and lead times.
What if my order arrives damaged or something is wrong?
Message us and we will fix it. A damaged or wrong item, or one that falls outside its stated specification on receipt, gets a reply within one business day and a replacement or full refund. Beyond that, these are research materials, so ordinary change-of-mind returns are not something we can accept. Full terms are in the returns policy.
