Laboratory consumable · lyophilised peptide reconstitution diluent
Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water containing 0.9% w/v (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, allowing a single vial to be accessed repeatedly under aseptic laboratory conditions.
A preserved aqueous diluent. Benzyl alcohol is cytotoxic to many cell lines and can interfere with some assays; confirm compatibility with the experimental system before use.
For in-vitro laboratory use only. Note: benzyl alcohol may be incompatible with certain sensitive formulations; verify compatibility before use with each compound.
