Overview
About BACTERIOSTATIC WATER
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, used exclusively as a diluent for reconstituting lyophilized peptide compounds. The added benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth across multiple withdrawals from the same vial, distinguishing it from single-use sterile water.
Mechanism of Action
How It Works
The 0.9% benzyl alcohol content acts as an antimicrobial preservative, allowing a single vial to be used for multiple reconstitution and withdrawal cycles without the sterility concerns of unpreserved sterile water. It does not participate in any biological pathway — its sole research function is safe, sterile reconstitution of lyophilized compounds.
Scientific Literature

Handling
Storage & Reconstitution
Dry Storage
Store lyophilized powder at −20°C, away from light and moisture. Do not open until ready to use. Shelf life is significantly extended by proper dry storage.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute using N/A. Add solvent slowly to the side of the vial and allow to dissolve gently. Do not shake vigorously.
Post-Reconstitution
Store reconstituted solution refrigerated at 4°C. Use within your laboratory's established timeframe. Do not refreeze after reconstitution.
